Pro tools Carbon and ADAT
Hi guys
I'm currently undergoing a major studio upgrade and I'm hoping that it wont be too long before Avid develops a windows version of Carbon. I understand that Carbon can handle 16 tracks of ADAT inputs along with its own 8 channels of Mic pre's. I have a 16 channel analog mixing desk which I still want to use however my current AD/DA convert is a MOTU 24 I/O which uses firewire. I'm looking to replace this with something that can convert the tape outputs of the mixing desk into ADAT which I can then plug into the Carbon ADAT inputs thus only using 1 interface (I don't want to use ASIOforall and multiple interfaces). I don't mind several interfaces as long as they are connected to Carbon and not directly to the computer. Any suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks Rob |

Re: Pro tools Carbon and ADAT
I just installed Carbon this week and was using a MOTU 16A previously to interface with my 16 channel Trident. The MOTU will continue to be my console interface, just used in stand-alone converter mode and connected to Carbon via the ADAT i/o.
All the DSP processing on the MOTU inputs remains available when running stand-alone and can be controlled by a web-browser connected over wi-fi. |

Re: Pro tools Carbon and ADAT
As I undertand it, the reason there is no Windows support for the Carbon is Windows does not have native AVB support. Hopefully that comes some time, but I wouldn't buy the Carbon expecting it to be soon (it may never happen).

Re: Pro tools Carbon and ADAT
I currently use 16 channels of Symphony I/O, but also briefly used an AD16X. Both are excellent options and AD16X units are stupid cheap.
