The Missing Link in the Pro Tools Ecosystem
Pro Tools | Carbon bridges the gap between native interfaces and dedicated DSP systems. Designed by Avid to integrate at the heart of Pro Tools, it harnesses the power of AAX DSP plugins for real-time recording while letting your CPU handle the rest of the mix. The result: a smooth, reliable, and inspiring workflow from project studios to professional tracking rooms.Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for artists, bands, producers, and engineers who demand latency-free takes, comfortable overdubs, and complex mixes. Switch track-by-track to DSP mode to record through effects and equalizers, then switch back to native for mixing. You can even disconnect Carbon and continue your session elsewhere with full flexibility.A Hybrid Workflow Designed for Performance
Carbon's hybrid engine automatically accelerates your AAX DSP plugins during recording, while your processor plays back the rest of the session. Switching is done with a single button in Pro Tools, without tedious reconfiguration. This system eliminates detours through third-party applications and ensures consistent monitoring from tracking to mastering.Precision Conversion and Clocking
Its converters with four ADCs per channel and a 32-bit gain structure provide greater headroom and exemplary signal integrity. The JetPLL dual-resolution technology driven by an FPGA-controlled 100 MHz oscillator minimizes jitter for a clear stereo image, better source separation, and faithful reproduction.Connectivity Ready for Large Sessions
With 25 x 34 simultaneous I/O, 8 preamps, 4 headphone outputs, and 16 ADAT channels, Carbon covers multi-mic recording, musician cue management, and external effects integration. High-speed Ethernet ensures generous bandwidth and future workflow expansions.Premium Plugin Bundle
In addition to the 115 AAX plugins included with Pro Tools (Avid Complete Bundle, HEAT) and the UVI Falcon instrument, Carbon includes a premium pack from Arturia, Brainworx, McDSP, Native Instruments, UVI, and Embody, plus one year of Pro Tools subscription convertible to a perpetual license, one year of support, and a 5.4 GB sound library.Technical specifications

Questions frequently asked
Is Pro Tools Carbon Hybrid compatible with Mac and PC?
Compatibility is announced with both Mac and PC computers. The high-speed Ethernet connection ensures communication with the Pro Tools system.
Is it possible to record with plugins without audible latency?
The hybrid engine allows tracks to be set to DSP mode for recording with AAX DSP plugins. The computer's processor remains available for playback of the rest of the session.
How many inputs and outputs does the interface offer?
The interface handles 25 inputs and 34 simultaneous outputs. It includes 8 preamps, 16 ADAT channels, and 4 headphone outputs for musician monitoring.
What audio conversion quality is specified?
Conversion reaches 192 kHz with a maximum resolution of 32 bits and a specified dynamic range of 126 dB. Four ADCs are used per channel, with a 32-bit gain structure. The FPGA-driven JetPLL clock relies on a 100 MHz oscillator to minimize jitter.
Which plugins and software are included with Carbon?
The pack includes 115 AAX plugins with Avid Complete Bundle and HEAT, UVI Falcon, as well as a 5.4 GB library. References such as Arturia Rev PLATE-140, Brainworx bx_console N, McDSP 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip HD, and UVI Model D are also provided.
