In praise of Carve

[virtualpt]

Just wanted to say how useful I am finding Carve. It is one of my favourite REs. It is amazing for getting that thing to pop through the mix in the right place & at the right time. I'm working on a track with a big noisy pad bed & putting carve on it & driving it from the vocals makes the whole track sound cleaner, but without losing what the pad brings.

If you haven't tried this RE out yet, give it a go

Yeah, I beta tested it and really liked its concept and what it does. Unfortunately I couldn't fully test it and contribute due to personal matters.
It is certainly on my to buy list!

I also beta tested it, and also was not able to contribute much.  It is on my "want to buy" list too.  Great, little RE.

I have it and like it a lot although I don't use it that much, but it is really grate when eqing don't do it, put carve on it and problem solved

I trialed Carve and although I really like it I found that it was imparting some low frequency noise to the ducked instrument, which it should not be doing at all.
Shokstar discovered this issue and I confirmed it by accident when I was ducking a over-processed bass guitar and I discovered that the compression was causing my signal to clip. It took me ages to work out that Carve was causing the problem.
What I could see was that carve was imparting inaudible, low-frequency noise. But when I crushed the signal with compression it could be heard in the form of clipping.
I addressed the issue in the Carve thread but nothing has been done about it.
I will not purchase this device until it's fixed, it's a bug.

An example would be nice.

I'm sure you must be talking to me.
I can upload an example, the only issue I have is that I did the video on a version of Screenflow that I haven't upgraded to. I would redo the video in the version I actually own but my trial for carve is over. So the video export says demo all over it and it's really embarrassing.

But I will upload it anyway if you're ok with that?

- Just looking at Carve and wonder if this issue is still there? Cannot see anything about it in here...

yep, and i love the fact it is zero latency.. a very useful tool.. Can be used quite creatively also, not just as a mixing tool
