Lock the exact mix
ToneCarve pairs every road test with the exact WAV and mix version that was played. No generic tone and no guessing which bounce created the capture.
ToneCarve · early access
Make the mix in your room survive the drive.
ToneCarve measures how your mix translates from studio monitors to a specific vehicle, then suggests the corrective moves that close the gap—inside your DAW.

The producer problem
The car test works.
The version guessing doesn’t.
A familiar room helps you make decisions. A familiar car exposes what the current song is doing outside that room. ToneCarve connects the exact source mix to its road-test capture instead of treating the vehicle as a generic correction target.
Capture that mix in the car
Play the same song through the vehicle and record from the listening position so the analysis represents what happened to that specific production.
Adjust the song—not the car
Compare source and vehicle playback, find the sections that stop translating, and return to the DAW with focused decisions for that mix.
This is mix translation—not speaker correction. The vehicle is a playback environment. The song and its current mix version remain the subject of every analysis.
More than another EQ
The source-and-capture pair is the evidence.
ToneCarve is being built as one connected system: the exact source WAV, a controlled vehicle capture, transparent validation, and track-specific guidance inside the DAW.
Source-locked evidence
Every vehicle capture stays attached to the original WAV, mix version, playback path, recorder, and test conditions used to create it.
Repeatable road tests
Repeat takes and documented vehicle settings make it possible to separate a real translation problem from a bad or interrupted recording.
Mix-aware guidance
ToneCarve is designed to explain where this song loses balance, impact, clarity, or width in the vehicle—not generate a permanent correction curve for the speakers.
