Very good all round ! The one thing I find a bit irritating is having to log into splice to often to activate rent to own plugins. Its every few days when I open Cubase.

Search engine and Splice integrated still lacking

Please improve the search engine. It‘s not helpful if I type in „trap snare“ and gives me everything that has the word snare in it and everything that has the word trap in it.

Splice integration (in pro tools) is great, but it needs improvement in some areas. Please, please, please make the samples ACTUAL drag and drop so I can drag a sample from the integrated splice version directly into a sampler like Battery for instance. Right now I have to open another instance of the Splice standalone app to do that which defeats the whole point of having an integrated version.

Also, when auditioning one shots, it‘s really annoying when it‘s set by default to loop every bar. It‘s annoying to have to turn that off every time you wanna quickly listen through samples instead of looping. I also havent found it useful at all apart from when you‘re doing a four on the floor kick drum. Maybe integrate and off beat option so you can audition hi hats on the „and“ between each beat?

All in all, while some of the features are great, I still think Splice overall is too expensive for what you get.

Thank you for your feedback. Bryan from the CX team here. We understand the search engine needs improvement, and we'll address the issue of broad results. We appreciate your insights on the Splice integration with Pro Tools, especially drag-and-drop functionality and one-shot auditioning. Your points about looping and off-beat hi-hats are helpful. We'll consider your comments on the overall value too.

Overcharged and fomo tactics

Charged 1624 NOK for a product i didnt even order at all, got my money back the day after and got 1524 NOK back, estimated 10 USD loss. And instead of just giving me a free month or any sort of accomedation for the fact that they messed up and your systems failed I was told to contact the bank and that my credits that I have paid for over the years will be deleted if i dont re-subscribe immediately. The product in itself is stellar and worth the 7,99 dollars it cost when I started but they have increased the price to over double (Now 19.99 USD) and says that if I leave they will delete all my credits i gathered over the years of loyalty. Only reason I'll continue to use their product is because they basically have monopoly in the market and that I will lose 450USD worth of credits if i leave.

My go to sample place

I started using Splice when I built my home studio 5 years ago and it just keeps getting better. The sample content is MASSIVE and it just keeps growing. Plus they’ve developed plugins like “Instrument” and Splice for DAW.
Since hardware like Akai and DAWs now integrate Splice I was ahead of the curve.
The plans are affordable for any budget
It’s a deep inspiration pool and I love it
Try it out you won’t be disappointed

Nice samples, but a lot of dissapointment.

Nice samples, but don’t get why they raised the price for new customers. The student plan is also not available in my country (The Netherlands) and the fact your credits dissapear when you cancel is very dissapointing. Why would you piss off your customers like this when you could be the most beloved platform in this industry by just fixing this bs?

Great, but sometimes a bit buggy

The splice app where you can slap sounds straight into your DAW sometimes makes the sounds super quiet on Reaper, but it usually fixes itself when you reopen the VST. Other than that I got 0 complaints so far

Raising the price of the tier I was on…

Raising the price of the tier I was on and then raising the basic tier right after that so i'm literally paying the same price for the lower tier. Messy
