Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced the launch of Pro Tools |
Carbon™, a new generation audio interface that empowers artists,
bands, engineers and producers to record every detail of every
performance with the utmost clarity and precision. Built to capture
brilliance, this hybrid audio production system features incredible
sound quality and intelligent Pro Tools® integration that combines
the power of the user’s native CPU with the unparalleled
performance of HDX DSP acceleration. The result is the smoothest,
most inspiring tracking experience Avid has ever designed.
Building on Avid’s heritage of making high-end studio technology
more accessible to all music creators, Pro Tools | Carbon brings
the power of its HDX technology to anyone who records and produces
music.
Darrell Thorp, nine-time Grammy Award-winning engineer for such
artists as the Foo Fighters, Radiohead and Beck, commented, “With
onboard HDX DSP, Pro Tools | Carbon puts low latency power at your
fingertips. I can have AAX DSP plugins on my tracking channels
at the ready and access them whenever I want. I work extremely
fast, so the fewer steps that I need to think about, the
better. Pro Tools | Carbon really speeds up the recording process.
Plus, its transparent converter and preamp design sounds
amazing.”
“With Pro Tools | Carbon, Avid brings groundbreaking, innovative
tools and technologies like HDX DSP to a new generation of music
creators around the globe to capture their best performances,” said
Dana Ruzicka, General Manager of Audio at Avid. “Pro Tools | Carbon
is a complete project studio solution that has immense capability
without the complexities that bog down music creators. Its onboard
HDX DSP lets users record through effects in real-time, virtually
eliminating latency, along with some of the highest quality I/O
we’ve ever delivered to record a whole band and dial in individual
low latency cue mixes for each player.”
The all-new Pro Tools Hybrid Engine lets users push their CPUs
to the limit when working with virtual instruments and mixing. It
simultaneously allows users to access on-demand, low latency
channels to record through AAX DSP plug-ins in real time—with sub-1
ms latency monitoring performance. With the ability to easily
toggle a single DSP Mode button per track in Pro Tools, users have
the flexibility to simplify their workflow for recording and
mixing, so they can focus on the music they’re making—not what
they’re making it with.
AAX DSP is at the core of the Hybrid Engine and is the only
plugin architecture that offers true hybrid capabilities. AAX DSP
delivers the same sound quality in both native and HDX DSP
Acceleration domains, enabling users to toggle in and out of DSP
Mode while maintaining equally exceptional sound quality. This also
enables music creators to easily disconnect Pro Tools | Carbon and
take their mix on the road or collaborate with others who don’t
have the interface.
Featuring pristine converters, double resolution clocking, and
Avid’s most transparent mic preamp design yet, Pro Tools | Carbon
has been meticulously designed so that with the push of the record
button every nuance of every performance is captured with the
greatest depth, dimension, and clarity.
Pro Tools | Carbon is ready to record any session—from solo
artists to full bands. With four headphone outputs to send
individual monitor mixes, eight pristine preamps combined with 16
channels of ADAT inputs and an onboard talkback mic you are primed
for tracking a band. Pro Tools | Carbon also delivers a super-fast,
high-bandwidth Ethernet connection to the host computer, that
preserves the highest possible sound quality from input to output,
as well as supporting future workflow enhancements.
In addition, Pro Tools 2020 introduces a new dramatic dark
themed UI that’s sleek, inspiring, and easier on the
eyes—especially in lower light conditions. It also provides new
ways to create and advance ideas with the ability to analyze audio
and render it as MIDI notes. For audio post professionals, Pro
Tools 2020 includes native integration to export ADM files for
Dolby Atmos®, a new space clips function that lets you arrange a
multitude of clips in a fraction of the time, and it reintroduces
the ability to bounce sessions to QuickTime formats in macOS
Catalina.
Pricing and availabilityPro Tools | Carbon is
available now at local resellers, starting at $3,999 USD, which
includes a one-year Pro Tools subscription and highly respected
partner plugins from Arturia, McDSP, Plugin Alliance, UVI, Native
Instruments and Embody at no additional cost.

November 13. To register for a webinar in your region, visit Avid
