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\u2019ve ever delivered to record a whole band and dial in individual low latency cue mixes for each player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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\u2014with 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\u2019re making\u2014not what they\u2019re making it with.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3268\" src=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs-1068x534.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs-840x420.jpg 840w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Diagram-of-HDX-DSPs.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t have the interface.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring pristine converters, double resolution clocking, and Avid\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Pro Tools | Carbon is ready to record any session\u2014from 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.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Pro Tools 2020 introduces a new dramatic dark themed UI that\u2019s sleek, inspiring, and easier on the eyes\u2014especially 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\u00ae, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing and availability<br \/>\nPro 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.
