Extending IO
Picking up a ferrofish pulse 16 to extend the io on my carbon. I had a question though, can you add an HDX card to the system to add more dsp processing power or would that only work if I move to a matrx studio or HD interface?
I know the HDX wouldnt connect directly to the carbon, but could it act as a side car to increase DSP processing power? |

Re: Extending IO
You can't combine HDX and Carbon since both are considered Playback Engines by Pro Tools. If you find yourself in need of more DSP, HDX or HDN Thunderbolt + MTRX St might be a better option.

Re: Extending IO
Perfect, thanks for the clarity. I had trouble finding this on my own.

Re: Extending IO
Second question. If I bought a matrix studio and HDX card, could I later extend the pair with an HD 16x16 interface?

Unless you didn't use the full capabilities of I/O with the MTRX Studio (which can do 64 channels). You could connect only 1 minidigilink cable to the MTRX Studio (restricting yourself to only 32 channels) and then use the second HDX port to connect to the HD 16x16.

I have a console that I would like to use in a hybrid setup. It is a 24/48 channel setup where each inline channel has a tape return and a line in. I want to be able to have all 48 inputs available to me at mix down. On the matrix studio I see 16 analog IO out of the box with an additional 16 (at 48k) on adat. That is 32 channels of IO from one box. How do I extend it to 64? |

Re: Extending IO
Buy a Motu 16A, which has 16 Analog in/out that you can use as a standalone converter, or connect to the carbon via ADAT. Problem solved it you don't need more than 24 inputs.

And it doesn't give you more than 16 channels if you want to use 96KHz. I do use 96KHz, because it's the only way to get close to the "sub-1ms" latency that the Carbon was advertised as providing. Dominic |

How many inputs do you need to track through DSP at one time? Considering the Carbon's DSP was designed to be used for Tracking purposes and not mixing, are you asking too much from DSP? |
