An amp tone can be great on its own and still fight the mix. Bring in the backing and the amp, create three cabinet directions, then shape the one that belongs in the song.

Your amp.
Your cabinet.
Load a local .nam file or browse TONE3000 from the plugin. The profile plays before the cabinet and before Amp capture, so you can design while hearing the complete chain.

A practical reference workflow
Keep the mix separate.
Capture it together.
Feed the amp to the main input and the backing to the Mix reference sidechain. Check both meters and capture the two references in one pass. The included REAPER helper prepares a silent backing-reference route; importing two audio files works in any supported setup.
Cabinet WAV export
A cabinet for the song.
A file for your rig.
Export the selected cabinet, a chosen set of variants, their combined response, or individual files and a blend together. Save the full recipe alongside them so you can return to the design.

Before you play
A few useful answers.
What is CarveIR 2?
A cabinet response designer that uses an amp reference and a backing-mix reference to guide three cabinet directions. Refine the response and export a conventional cabinet WAV.
Is there an upgrade for original CarveIR owners?
Yes. Eligible owners of the original CarveIR receive a 30% upgrade through their signed-in account. The offer follows the store’s seasonal upgrade availability.
Does it include NAM and TONE3000?
It loads compatible local NAM profiles before the cabinet and includes TONE3000 browsing. TONE3000 requires your account and an internet connection. Third-party profiles are not included.
Does the exported IR contain the amp profile?
No. WAV export contains the static cabinet design, including context, sculpting and response edits. The nonlinear NAM stage and gate remain separate.
Do I have to route a sidechain?
No. You can import separate backing and amp files. For simultaneous live capture, use the optional Mix reference sidechain; a REAPER routing helper is included.
Can I keep the first version installed?
Yes. CarveIR 2 has a separate plugin identity and installs alongside the original CarveIR. Earlier sessions can continue using the earlier plugin.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
Yes. The universal macOS installer contains native Intel and Apple Silicon builds, with VST3, AU and standalone formats.
What export formats are available?
WAV at 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz, 16/24-bit or 32-bit float, 512 to 8192 samples, minimum or linear phase, mono/dual mono or stereo from stereo references. Export selected variants individually, blended, or both.
