Carbon's Future...?
At first I heard sales were slow, but I'm hearing from my dealer that they have really picked up.
I know there was some mention that future upgrades/expansions were planned for Carbon from Avid, though nothing formally announced. I assume this was because they needed, and perhaps still need, to see how sales go. I hope the future is bright for Carbon. Originally a remote was planned for Omni, but never happened, budget reasons I was told. Hopefully we will see this unit a big success and more features added on in due time... Tom |

I hope that's true about sales picking up. I'm really hoping they come out with an 8 or 16 channel expansion add-on. I don't need more preamps but more channels would be lovely.

I hope they euconize preamp gain and monitor controls like headphone levels etc. in the first place.
Best Mark

Re: Carbon's Future...?
I picked up the MOTU 16A to expand my channel count but I'd grab an AVID extension if one came out and dump the MOTU.

Re: Carbon's Future...?
Amusingly (?) Avid's Carbon web page is currently missing in action, throwing a '404. Oh what does that mean? Somebody screwing up? Somebody trying to update it?
https://www.avid.com/products/pro-tools-carbon But as for more expansion, OK you can get ADAT, but why would Avid produce their own ADAT preamp? Piling into an already very crowded market? Even if they made it with ADAT and AVB. ... but could it have DSP on board and span Hybrid DSP across boxes? If so then the economic development thing to to do for Avid would be to just support multiple Carbon connected at the same time? (No not that I am personally going to buy a Carbon, I have a RME Fireface UFX+ on order... if RME ever gets their delivery act together). |

Re: Carbon's Future...?
I'm not sure "spanning units" would work the way you are thinking. I'm more thinking multiple boxes with their own local DSP. Starting with if Avid are going that way, start by supporting multiple Carbon boxes used together. That's a nice thought from so many aspects. Those resource are just sitting out there on your ABV network, be nice to pick and choose and combine together different boxes as you need.
