There are no presets inside my Plugin...

For a quick start with the plugin, you can import the (if included) ".xmlbank" file containing the Factory Presets.

Here's how:

  • Load the plugin in your DAW.
  • Click on the preset load button (represented by a file icon).
  • Select 'Import Bank' and import the included ".xmlbank" file.

Not all plugins have factory presets yet. Only Stereo Pusher, Octapus and Resonote. We are currently working on presets for the other plug-ins though.

My keys don't work...

- As described in the plugin(s) itself, to validate the keys, you have to restart the plugin. If your DAW doesn’t offer a plugin restart function, remove the plugin from your signal chain and load it again. If the unlock screen with the keys still reappears, try the next steps.

- Have you tried to copy the key's over again from the email?

- Did you check there where no 'Spaces' before or after the key's you've entered. This can happen when copy/pasting them over.

- Have you tried to manually type the key's in?

- If you use Studio One 6 on MacOS, please open the FAQ tab under this one.

If nothing works you can always contact us via carpaudio@gmail.com - We're ready to assist you!

Why are two keys required for one plugin?

To enhance security and prevent unauthorized use, CARP Audio plugins require two key codes for activation. This dual-key system ensures that only legitimate users have access to the full functionality of the plugin.
