Re: NEW -> Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
According to the PT Expert blog that was the price announced a AES so I'm guessing (do not know) it's the MSRP

https://www.avid.com/products/pro-tools-carbon/specs The confusing point is: "2 AVB Ethernet ports for Pro Tools | Carbon I/O expansion" under Carbon Pre Meanwhile for using ADAT expansion: https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...Configurations So are the AVB ports being used or not on the Carbon Pre? (Or is this a case of a half-finished product being released and they didn't get the AVB to work as expansion?)

But I am wondering if being AVB it will allow 16 or 24 channels to be at higher than 48k which is the limit with additional 16 ADAT channels

Re: NEW -> Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
Are the Carbon preamps really that good or is the idea that everything is software controllable really the attraction?

Yes and yes.

But how much DSP is in the Carbon? 64 inputs and 4 headphone sends will pretty easily bring a whole HDX card to its knees, before even adding plugins.

Re: NEW -> Pro Tools | Carbon Pre
Well at the moment I’m struggling with putting just 8 channels in and out of DSP mode, taking 5 or 6 minutes, so 56 channels will take nearly an hour.
It does seem a bit strange not to put some more DSP in the second box. $2000 (assuming some discount) is a lot for 8 mic pres and some extra ADAT ports. Dominic

I don't really see why they called it the 'Carbon Pre', other than clearly just opening the Carbon design files and deleting the DSP, monitoring section and headphone amps. They should have called it something more ambiguous like the Avid PreX... This feels like a very awkward product release that tries to give Carbon users the expandability they've asked for, while directly revealing that Carbon users will never be able to have the true expandability they've asked for.

Are you by chance using the SoundID plugin from Sonarworks? That one in particular I find to jam up my DSP when its on the master insert. If I disable all plugins on my master channel before enabling/disabling DSP the problem goes away. |
