Splice Sounds, founded not so long ago, has the objective to create a stable platform where one can host DAW data and projects in a cloud-based program. Basically, experts created it for you to share your raw project and collaborate with other users. Similarly, you can permanently store it to have access from other computers. As a result, this became very helpful if you were a producer on the move working in different studios. Now, the creators of Splice Studio have created Splice Sounds. It’s a different approach to buying samples in a particular monthly-fee scheme.
Splice Sounds: Features
Splice Sounds is an online catalogue that spans over one million royalty-free samples, loops, effects and MIDI presets form great leading industry figures. This model is very interesting because we’re normally accustomed to buy sample packs. We, in turn, end up not using them and, then, forgetting them, Obviously, this could lead to more piracy of sample collections because of what they cost, as well as the percentage of usage from each pack. So, unlike other platforms, Splice has come up with a great solution like Spotify has. That is, they came up with a monthly standard charge for a limited amount of sample downloads. The idea here is to only search and download what you want and what you’re going to use. For $7.99 USD a month you get 100 credits. And a sample costs one credit each.
Splice Sounds placed a limit of 100 samples a month only to stop some from downloading the whole library and quitting a month after. Regardless, really, we think that 100 samples a month are enough. This restriction forces you to select your downloads wisely so you don’t end up with thousands of MB on your HD and lots of cash spent unnecessarily. There is also a$13.99 USD package to get 300 samples, but this is the maximum. To download the samples, you’ll have to set up an account and download an app for syncing. Afterwards, you just have to drag the tunes directly to your DAW.
