The .nam format is used by the Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) plugin, which is software for amp modeling that uses neural network technology to simulate the behavior of amplifiers and effects. Currently, .nam files are specifically designed to be used with Neural Amp Modeler and are not natively compatible with other audio plugins or applications. However, you might find community projects or adaptations exploring its use in other platforms.
Here’s a list of what you can consider when working with .nam files:
-
Neural Amp Modeler (NAM): The main plugin for loading and using .nam files. It’s available as a VST3, AU, and LV2 plugin for different DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations).
-
Compatible DAWs: Since .nam files are loaded via NAM as a plugin, any DAW that supports VST3, AU, or LV2 can use these files. Examples of DAWs:
- Reaper
- Ableton Live
- Cubase
- Studio One
- FL Studio
-
Other amp simulators: While they can't directly read .nam files, some programs allow you to use NAM in combination with other effects or amps, such as:
- Helix Native
- Amplitube
- Guitar Rig
If you’re specifically looking to work with impulse responses (IRs), you might need to convert or work with standard IR files like .wav instead of .nam
