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.

Pro Tools Carbon has 25 inputs and 34 outputs that can be accessed simultaneously, including four headphone outputs for cue mixes, and six Variable impedance inputs.

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.

HDX DSP Internals

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.

Get the Ultimate toolset

Pro Tools | Carbon comes with a Pro Tools Ultimate Perpetual license, providing the complete advanced toolset, plus a massive collection of plugins, loops, and sounds. And with Carbon turbocharging the experience, you can act on inspiration the instant it strikes.

Record with more depth and precision

Carbon captures 32-bit audio right at the converters and maintains a full 32-bit path from input to output for stunning sound quality and dynamic range. And with Variable Z built in, you can optimize or alter the tone of any microphone or instrument by simply adjusting input impedance.

Get flawless sound

Precision clocking is crucial for distortionless, artifact-free audio. That’s why we designed a double resolution implementation of the JetPLL™ jitter elimination technology to ensure the best sound quality for your music. It runs twice as fast as typical JetPLL clocks—and it’s twice as accurate.

Build your studio around Carbon

Get the power of our flagship HDX system in a single audio interface with 25 x 34 simultaneous I/O, eight remotely controllable and recallable mic pres, four headphone amps, and latency-free monitoring. Add Carbon Pre to expand your system up to 24 mic/line inputs, enabling you to record an entire band live—wherever you need to.

The future is Ethernet

Carbon connects to your computer over Ethernet using a proprietary version of AVB to stream audio at 32-bit float precision—a first in the industry. This enables a consistently high headroom and the highest possible sound quality from input to output. And it primes Carbon for the future.

Premium plugins included.

In addition to the over 120 plugins included with Pro Tools, Carbon comes with a suite of premium plugins that’ll take your production further. Find your groove and lay down melodies with unique virtual instruments. And shape, enhance, warm up, and master your vocal and instrument tracks with acclaimed EQ, dynamics, and sound processing plugins.
