ToneCarve · early access
Translate your mix from your room to your car.
ToneCarve is a DAW plugin (AU & VST3). A short sweep from the driver seat builds a per-vehicle profile; the plugin compares your studio monitor response to that cabin target and carves the EQ that closes the gap — so listeners hear what you heard, before you ever pull out of the driveway.
A measured cabin response with the corrective carve the plugin suggests for a flat monitor-to-car translation.
The producer problem
The mix in your room doesn’t survive the drive home.
Room correction fixes the studio. The car is the other listening environment — the one that almost every listener actually hears you in. ToneCarve is the missing translation step between them.
Your monitors lie
Your room is flat. Your cabin isn’t.
Studio monitors paint a smooth, predictable response. A car cabin smears the bass under the seats, swallows midrange in the dashboard, and burns the highs on road noise. Whatever you balance in the room rarely lands the same way on the road.
The car test
Every producer drives around tweaking for a week.
You bounce a mix, drive to the parking lot, and start over: too much 80 Hz here, a notch at 4 kHz there. It’s slow, anecdotal, and borrows your listeners as the test rig. The translation step is missing.
The missing step
A per-vehicle profile, and an EQ carved for it.
ToneCarve captures a 6-second impulse response from the driver seat, maps it against your monitor room, and suggests a corrective EQ inside the DAW. The next time you do the car test, the gap is already closed.
Not a replacement for room correction — a complement. ToneCarve handles the cabin; your existing tools handle the room.
