For singers, bands and producers,It is a hybrid audio production system that features amazing high sound quality and combines the power of the inherent CPU with the acceleration of the onboard HDX DSP.Therefore, when mixing and recording, the AAX DSP plug-in can be used to monitor the delay with almost zero to maximize the potential of the computer.All this is just a push of a button.All are handled in Pro Tools.
Power and simplicity that drive your creative spark.
With HDX DSP acceleration under the hood and deep Pro Tools integration, Carbon has the power to keep pace with your imagination. Create in the moment, free from technical hassles. And focus on the music you're making—not what you're making it with.
Fast, intuitive, and fully integrated.
Move effortlessly between tracking and mixing—without messing with buffer settings. The magic is in the Hybrid Engine, which lets you toggle tracks in and out of DSP Mode at the touch of a button. Record naturally through real-time AAX DSP plugins, without distracting latency. Then mix with the same plugins in Native Mode, without taxing Carbon's onboard DSP.
