Carbon and Windows 10?
Only info i could find about Windows and Carbon support is since Windows doesn't support AVB it will be available in the future sometime.
Any more specific timeline than that? Would a third party AVB PCIe network adapter solution like for example the Echo Audio NIC-1 PCIe network adapter work? |

Hey Christian,
No updates to share yet. But, we definitely hear the request! A third party AVB adapter isn't enough as there needs to be the AVB software stack to support it (it's native on macOS). That's the main technical challenge right now.

Re: Carbon and Windows 10?
Thanks for your answer. I dont know if this will take months or years but in the mean time could it be possible to make a rev.2 version of Carbon wirh with thunderbolt or another existing connection type that does work with Windows 10?
If yes please throw in sends/returns for all the onboard preamps. That would make it perfect as one could choose to monitor analog while tracking as i can with my Avid Omni. |

Re: Carbon and Windows 10?
The actual NIC needs to be AVB enabled also. Even if Windows supported AVB the NIC would have to be AVB enabled as well. And it's a much more difficult process to do on the hardware side, which is why most NICs used in Windows machine don't support AVB. Apple can do it because they build all their own stuff and charge three times as much for it.
Also the AVB specifications, which is actually now officially called TSN (time sensitive networking), still, after more than 11 years, is not officially finalized.

I think it’s not that difficult. I’ll explain why. I have an Avid S3 and it is also AVB inteface. While trying to lower the costs of a home studio I bulit a hackintosh. It is an Asus z370 Prime A motherboard, intel processor and gygabyte thunderbolt card. Thunderbolt is important for AVB on the Mac os side because only macs with thunderbolt support AVB. And guess what? AVB on S3 works like a charm. Just like that. So, no special hardware. Just plain old pc hardware with mac os on it. So, it’s not much of a hardware issue but a software one. And I guess it’s a proprietary deal between Apple and AVB creators... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Carbon and Windows 10?
Yes that was the goal of my request.
I've become acustomed to track vocals/guitar dry (except hardware preamp and compressor) analog by sending a signal from my Avid Omni pres sends to my Presonous HP60 headphone amp and mix that signal with the output from Omni line out 3-4 into Input A on my HP60. This way I get latency free recording. I also can easily and quickly control the mix between these to sources to individual taste. The main reason for this setup is the dreaded "blast/explosion of white noise" issue I had in earlier versions of Pro Tools. Luckily it's not been a problem for many years but it still hunts me in the back of my mind. The terrible blast was so loud that I'm afaid it has damaged my hearing. It was especially loud the way I tracked befor (through Pro Tools). To avoid distorting the input by turning the recording Pro Tools track channel up by 6 to 9 dB to be able to hear myself properly I rather had to turn every other track down by 6 to 9 db (leave the recording channel at 0 db) and turn up the headphone volume to compensate. I guess you can imagin how the white noise blast sounds 9 db louder directly into my ears. So with Carbon since it's 32bit will it be possible to turn up just the recording track (in the Pro Tools mixer) while tracking (6 to 9 db) wihout it distorting like it does on my Omni and Mbox 3 Pro befor that? |

Carbon inputs are very high headroom. So, it's easy to track at a lower input gain, then increase PT fader gain, without clipping.
