A NEW BREED OF AUDIO INTERFACE FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION
Built to capture brilliance. And ready for yours.
With superior sound quality and intelligent software integration, Pro Tools | Carbon removes barriers to creativity, so you can bring out the best in your performance and capture it beautifully. Whether using a single interface or a Carbon Expanded system with Pro Tools | Carbon Pre, you can bring the power and sound of our flagship Pro Tools | HDX system anywhere you want to record.

PERFORMANCE
Power and simplicity that drive your creative spark
With HDX DSP acceleration under the hood and deep Pro Tools integration, Carbon enables you to record, edit, and mix in a single application without bouncing between software. Create in the moment, free from technical hassles. And focus on the music you’re making—not what you’re making it with.

No latency. Period.
Carbon is cut from the same cloth as our flagship Pro Tools systems used in the world’s most acclaimed studios.

Its custom-designed FPGA and eight HDX DSPs achieve remarkable sub-1 ms recording latency and free up your computer to run big, plugin-heavy sessions smoothly.


Fast, intuitive, and fully integrated
Move effortlessly between tracking and mixing—without messing with buffer settings. The magic is in the Hybrid Engine. Toggle any track into DSP mode, and the Hybrid Engine seamlessly moves your entire live signal path to use real-time AAX DSP plugins for recording. Toggle a track back, and it automatically switches to use the AAX Native versions of your plugins, giving you the freedom to adjust plugins as the track evolves.

 

The ultimate interface for any producer and self-recording band
Features eight studio grade preamps and four headphone inputs
Rugged design makes it perfect for studio and live recording
Comes complete with premium third-party plugin pack
