More About Pro Tools Carbon
Pro Tools Carbon is their most significant hardware product in years and ironically it's a return to what put Pro Tools into the majority of pro music studios in the first place.
Pro Tools Carbon is the first audio interface Avid has designed in-house since the Avid HD IO and Avid HD Omni a decade ago. Avid has offered branded hardware since but this has been produced in partnership with other companies such as DAD and Apogee.
Pro Tools Carbon sits between Native and HDX. It is a self-contained tracking and mixing solution, which is suitable for tracking the majority of bands live, without having to think about latency. For example:
Tracking a four-piece band with 12 mics on the kit?
Need miking options on two guitars and bass and monitoring through amp modelling as well as the mics on the cabs?
Also, want to track vocals and BVs with room left to experiment with ambient mics down the corridor, and all at the same time?
No problem.
Mix latency-free, independent foldback mixes from the Pro Tools mixer for all four musicians?
Again not a problem.
Punch in the whole band for spot fixes without any latency-related headaches or the realisation that your careful low buffer for low latency while tracking, high buffer for lots of plug-ins strategy falls down when you need to re-track the vocal during mixdown?
With Pro Tools Carbon all of that goes away and you have HDX-like, near-zero latency without the expense or complexity of an HDX system.
Production Expert Editor, Julian Rodgers made the Pro Tools Carbon his Hardware Product Of 2020, saying…
“Carbon has excited me to the possibility of tracking a group of musicians all at the same time and capturing a proper performance in exactly the same way as when I bought my Digi001 back in 1999. If only 2020 had been a better year for getting a group of musicians, or anyone else for that matter, together in a small, poorly ventilated space for hours at a time… Maybe in 2021?”
