AVID – Pro Tools | CARBON [Pro Tools Ultimate Perpetual]

Descrizione

AVID Pro Tools | Carbon

Artisti, Band e produttori troveranno in AVID Pro Tools | Carbon la soluzione definitiva per catturare una performance in modo brillante. Il sistema ibrido ha un suono notevole unitamente alla capacità di sfruttare la potenza CPU nativa grazie all’accelerazione HDX DSP di cui AVID CARBON è equipaggiata. Potrai quindi registrare e Mixare attraverso i Plugins AAX DSP con una latenza pressochè pari a zero. Avrai tutto a portata di mano.

AVID CARBON

Hardware e Software fatti semplicemente l’uno per l’altro. L’integrazione intelligente con Pro Tools permette un lavoro senza pensieri in un unico ambiente creativo. L’Hybrid Engine consente di trasferire, quando necessario, l’elaborazione dei plug-in AAX DSP in tempo reale su AVID Carbon. L’Hybrid Engine massimizza le prestazioni di Pro Tools utilizzando contemporaneamente la CPU Nativa e l’elaborazione HDX DSP. Quando metti una traccia in modalità DSP, AVID Carbon si occupa di gestire i plug-in AAX DSP in tempo reale mentre la CPU riproduce il resto del tuo Mix. Dato che ogni plug-in DSP AAX ha una controparte nativa, puoi muoverti senza problemi tra le due modalità. Registra con la potenza HDX DSP per un monitoraggio a latenza quasi zero. E funziona in modo nativo con gli stessi plugin.

PLUGINS PREMIUM ADDIZIONALI INCLUSI:

DSP AND NATIVE. THE BEST IN BOTH WORLDS.
With the Hybrid Engine under its hood, Carbon maximizes Pro Tools performance, letting you say goodbye to distracting third-party apps. Because every AAX DSP plugin has a native counterpart, you can move seamlessly between worlds at the touch a button. Put a track in DSP Mode for recording, and Carbon accelerates real-time AAX DSP plugins, while your CPU plays back the rest of your mix. Bring the track back to native mode for mixing, and Pro Tools automatically takes care of the technical tasks for you.

AAX. ARCHITECTED TO GO BEYOND.
Unmatched dynamic range. 64-bit float double precision processing. When it comes to shaping and enhancing sounds, the AAX plugin architecture lets you take your music further. It’s the only plugin architecture with true hybrid capability. And it’s designed to deliver the same impeccable sound quality in both native and HDX DSP domains. That means you can disconnect Carbon and take your mix on the road or collaborate with others who don’t have the interface.

HDX DSP ACCELERATION. MADE TO REMOVE BARRIERS.
With a custom-designed FPGA and eight HDX DSPs at its core, Carbon is a powerhouse. The FPGA routes audio blazingly fast—one sample at a time—with near-zero latency, while the HDX DSPs handle real-time plugin processing, performing at an amazing 22.4 billion operations per second. So, no matter how big your session gets, or how many plugins you use in it, you can always record with sub-1 ms latency monitoring. And it frees up your CPU cores for virtual instruments and more creative mixing.

CONVERTERS. CLEAN AND TRUE.
The best sound quality begins with exceptional audio converters. We went the extra mile designing ours with four ADCs per channel, providing a remarkable 126 dB dynamic range. From input, to the HDX DSPs, and into Pro Tools, the entire gain structure works at uniform 32-bit precision, providing more headroom without any signal degradation. The result? You can capture clean, natural sounding audio. Every time you record.

MIC PREAMPS. MUSICAL AND TRANSPARENT.
With a padless design, incredible 126 dB dynamic range, and support for 32-bit/192 kHz audio conversion, Carbon features the most pristine preamps we’ve ever made. Capture performances without coloration. Bypass any preamp to use your own outboard gear. And with Variable Z built in, you can adjust input impedance to optimize or alter the tone of any microphone or instrument—from dynamic and ribbon mics, to guitar and bass.

CLOCKING. TWICE AS ACCURATE.
Precision clocking is crucial for distortionless, artifactfree audio. That’s why we designed a double resolution implementation of the patented JetPLL™ jitter elimination technology that runs twice as fast as typical JetPLL-based clocks for better sound and separation. And it’s twice as accurate, with extraordinarily low jitter, ensuring high-fidelity capture and playback.

CONNECTIONS. FOR THE WHOLE BAND.
With 25 x 34 simultaneous I/O, Carbon is ready to record any session—from solo artists to full bands. Eight pristine preamps, four headphone outputs, and 16 channels of ADAT I/O open up creative possibilities for miking, cue mixing, and expansion. Plus, its super-fast, highbandwidth Ethernet connection not only preserves the highest possible sound quality from input to output, it’s designed to support future workflow enhancements too.
