Avid’s audio interfaces for Pro Tools, including the latest Pro Tools MTRX Studio unveiled at NAMM 2020, at least combined Avid's required proprietary DigiLink interface for ProTools, with Dante, ADAT and other integration options, as well as direct support for EuCon remote control (used in all of Avid's control surfaces). The previous hardware options for Pro Tools, including those announced just at the start of 2020, relied on the best audio industry partners Avid could engage with, from Apogee to Sonnet Technologies, and Digital Audio Denmark (DAD), which was the chosen supplier for its most recent audio interfaces. So, there's essentially the new Carbon audio interface. 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."Ĭonsidering the recent introduction of Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve 17, which runs on Windows, Linux and macOS, and inclusively supports already the latest macOS Big Sur release - and is fully ready to support and leverage the latest Mac Silicon M1 processors - plus the fact that 2020 is not exactly a reference you want to keep in consumer’s minds in 2021 with a product released in November, it seems clear that software was not the focus for Avid. It also provides new ways to create and advance ideas with the ability to analyze audio and render it as MIDI notes. As Avid explains, this comes with Pro Tools 2020.11, which "introduces a new dramatic dark themed UI that’s sleek, inspiring, and easier on the eyes - especially in lower light conditions. In fact, it is a dedicated bundle of an hardware interface and software. packaging)59.0 x 51.5 x 18.Well, to be fair, Pro Tools Carbon is not only a new audio interface.

Besides the 116 AAX plug-ins that come included with Pro Tools, Carbon comes with a fat bundle of plug-ins from eminent developers like Native Instruments, UVI, Embody, McDSP, Arturia, and Plugin Alliance. With 16 ADAT input and output channels, ethernet connection, eight analogue inputs and outputs over DB25, and eight preamps, a full band can be recorded with ease, and in the highest quality possible.Įach AAX DSP plug-in has a counterpart in the normal plug-in world, meaning that you can record and monitor with the AAX DSP plug-ins, and if you then start collaborating with a Pro Tools user that isn’t lucky enough to own a Carbon interface, you can comfortably work with the ‘native’ version of the same plug-ins and set up a seamless workfow between both worlds, since both versions offer exactly the same level of audio quality, and therefore perfect compatibility. This makes the distortion near none-existent and guarantees crystal-clear audio reproduction. The internal clocking has also been taken to the next level, since an FPGA driven 100MHz oscillator reacts two times faster than the clocking of most standard interfaces. These are the most transparent preamps that AVID has ever developed, and via the ‘Variable Z’, the impedance can be optimised to match that of the connected microphone (including ribbons) or instrument. The main event when it comes to the Carbon has to be the on-board preamps. Armed with an immense 192kHz at 32-bit sample rate, the audio resolution smashes all limits. The DSP effects are activated at the literal push of a button, and when it comes to conversion, the Carbon is nothing short of a game-changer. With the Carbon, AVID unleash a progressive, even revolutionary audio interface with immense connection options and the ability to run AAX DSP effect plug-ins via eight internal HDX DSP chips, easing the CPU load of your computer reducing latency to less than a millisecond smoothing out the workflow and cracking open a fresh world of potential.
