I used Splice for 1 Year and here's what I think... 

Great point about using it as a creative tool

Everyone bashing him for stating pros only but I myself have been using splice for 8 months and I only have good to say. The only drawback is I am left with too many credits.

Splice is dangerously good. The second I open it a ton of ideas just come through my mind.

I only use Splice for Drum samples, FX, Vocals and Cinematic effects. Knowing that almost every producer probably heard the same melodies on Splice as I have just doesn’t feel right.

When I started getting sick of Logic drum sounds I just started recording my own sounds with my mic. Just by hitting random objects around my house, and modifying the recorded audio with my assortment of plugins (I'm obsessed with Soundtoys 5 lol), I've managed to come up with some pretty sweet drum sounds. Maybe I should start using Splice though just to have more options.

You have literally read my mind. A lot of artists suggest to stick to limitivity to unleash creativity... But it sometimes doesnt work no matter how good my music theory is and i am using the same old stuff. Will consider to get splice into my work pipeline!

I agree dude. Thanx for getting me onto splice. Love the music I can create with this platform.

I'm brand new to Splice and trying to figure out how to save and drag them. Can't wait! Thanks for the pointers.

Thank you for your clear-cut no-nonsense way of expressing your thoughts on Splice (and services). I can really appreciate your comments and you did give me information I had not previously known. Stay safe and be well. I'll be watching! 😉

I love Splice, it's super useful for samples! great video as usual patrick!

Been using splice over year now myself. It help evolve my sound and skills. Helped build many tracks and beats. Would recommend

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’d been considering Splice for quite a while and never got around to it. Your video helped me see value in using it. I also just subscribed. Great content. Much success brotha!

Great video man. Was thinking about joining Splice; you convinced me! Very informative

Great video man, thank you for uploading this! Really made me understand splice!

great video... I was on the fence but Im definitely getting splice now!!!! Thank you for the review

Hey Patrick, I just came across your channel as I am looking into Splice. Just subscribed, great video, brilliantly produced, so yea, great job!

splice really shines when it comes to finding loops of niche instruments quickly, or to find something that matches a certain vibe quickly

Dude, I didn't know they have synth presets!!! This is amazing!

Dope vid, brother! Re-inspiring me to dive back in to Splice! 🙏🏼

I already commented, but that was before I heard the song you built with that loop. I'm sold, headed to Splice right now lol. Thanks again

Nice room you have there, man! Love it! Great video!

great description of Splice. thanks for sharing how you use it.

Nice overview. Especially appreciate the info on one shots. Thanks

Damn boy, you are good. Subscribed!

Been on the fence with Splice. Thanks for giving me the push, man!

Thanks for sharing your experience with Splice.

It helped me a lot deciding to stick around with Splice. Thanks for the video.

Awesome vid man! Your Arturia vid made me buy my Keylab mk2 a while back, and your channel was a pleasant surprise!

This is a great channel. I look forward to more videos from you and hopefully they come weekly. One thing I highly recommend you do which may seem to contradict your plan for the rest of your videos or RU-vid gameplan. And that is to view your channel almost like a Netflix subscription and as much so as a television series or tv show. Your first season to have a couple of introductory episodes which you can map out however u want with the main goal being keeping the attention u have from viewers to keep them coming for the next one. Not with giveaways tho THATS one way. But for each “season” to have a primary story line with a beginning middle and end and without getting too much into your personal life until you’re fan base has increased exponentially from what is is now. TThink of yourself as a director and you’re gonna tell a “story” thru RU-vid videos or episodes. Doesn’t have to actually be a fictional story or a playlist of tutorials but ur creativity is the limit to the story you will tell. With this approach it may seem like your music production skills will be taking a back seat, but really its not. People with talent recognize talent. Even those who don’t have the eye to recognize they will be refreshed to see another new “episode” u have to offer. . And this isn’t to just follow the trend this is just what’s working and it works for a reason. This is just a recommendation as I like what you offer and I can see u with a bigger RU-vid following and I hope u keep those followers with more coming. I love this channel so far. I hope to see u soon.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try this out for composing

Awesome review, super honest and down to earth!

Hi Patrick! I've been binge-watching your videos (particularly those about MIDI controllers). I'm a singer-songwriter/recording artist and I'm just starting out with music production so these have been very helpful. I started with the free trial of Splice and it's been fun. Thanks for the awesome content!

Nice! That was actually super helpful! Thank you for that review!

Bro, I've been so riddled with tutorials. I completely forgot about using Ultra beat. I just started producing my own music and it's heaven. Thank you for the info man!

You clarified so many things, thanks Patrick. I just subscribed to your channel. Peace!

Great video man, that was really helpful ☺️

Thanks Patrick for this very informative video.

You’re information is very helpful love your videos

I like splice. I think some of my best pieces were made with those sounds. I used to dig vinyl but could not really release much because it was so dependent on obvious samples.

Great video. Your analysis is totally right!

love that track lovely harmony on guitar !!!!

Great video! Very informative

I totally drop samples from Splice as a starting point, and sometimes I end up using something different, but the jump-off was a Splice loop or sample.

I just started using splice and my productions just sound so much better, the selection of drum samples is sooooo good

Thanks. I've got a good idea about what it does

That song was great dude, thanks for the video

Thanks bro 🙏🏾 appreciate this info

I've been using splice for 3 months. I got to say its worth it. I find myself using alot of one shots or loops that I chop up. Their library is always growing too so it feels unlimited. Downside is if you dont change the samples you might hear another producer using it. Other than that its all positive. I wish they lowered the price though like 5$ for 100 credits and 8$ for 200 but the price currently is ok.

thanks for all the info!

Thank you brother, awesome

Starting using it close to the end of August, so not even a full 30 days in as of right now, but I am after mostly one-shots, the loops sound great, but I like more control over my music and would rather use VSTs for everything outside of one-shots. Great video my friend.

Glad to have found your channel. I am starting my journey with music production (melodic and progressive house). Splice looks amazing.

Thanks man this helped out a lot

Love, love, love Splice!

dude i fucking love splice. I just started making beats using garageband as a total beginner and within like a week and doing a lot of research on how to make music, things actually sound pretty good. i see a lot of people shitting on splice saying you aren't original if you use it etc. but you don't have to just use like a straight up full sample without changing anything or adding to it..by time everything is combined together it's totally different, or from like a 15 second loop you might only take 3-4 seconds of it that's like 65% of the way thru it changing the whole vibe of things entirely. still very much an art form to comb thru thousands of short sounds and turn them into a song. it's a great way to start for someone with no background using instruments. i just love music, wrote my own stuff to people's beats for like the past 8 years and figured i'd give it a try. turned out to be the most fun i've ever had. it's allowing me to make beats that i love, and it's motivated me to get a midi keyboard, logic pro x, and build up a decent little home studio. i honestly don't have the knowledge yet to make a completely original all me without any help song, and I admit that. splice is so amazing for beginners. and let's be honest, regardless of your ability to play instruments, every instrumental i've ever heard sounds extremely similar to something else and was clearly influenced heavily by another sound....which is why we have extremely distinguishable genres that sound a whole lot alike...by time i'm done piecing together all types of sounds from splice it sounds every bit as original as anything else, and it opens up the creative doors so widely because none of us would ever think of all the great little one offs and melodies on there that we can incorporate into the songs we make.

Thank you, great video

Patrick, Thank you for this overview video. This did provide understanding of this tool I was curious about. I am more a Composer Cloud kinda creator but I like to look beyond my nose. Take care and stay healthy and safe Bro.

Thank you for the video!

I literally love splice

Appreciate the info ✅

Really helpful, thanks!

Thanks tips homie! Think I’ll invest.

I too have been using Splice for the past year (same $7.99 level subscription). I don’t use it as much as you seem to and that is a shame. I am going to use some of your tips to inspire more productions. Thanks. BTW, I gave like a thousand credits rolled over now, so I got to get on it.

Thanks Patrick, Nice!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks alot man Liked the video and subscribed

Appreciate the knowledge

Great video Patrick

Such a clear video bruh 🙏

I’ve only heard of Splice, but it seems like a good resource! I’ll have to check them out!

Splice is awesome. I didn't even know what the hell it was when I bought it. But after learning a little bit about producing and how expensive it is. I've learned to appreciate how much value they bring for $10 a month My only criticism is.the way the downloads are stored. So many files, so when I pull it up on my daw it takes forever to find what I'm looking for. I started moving all my sounds to another folder so it's all neatly stored and ready for me.

This has been very helpful

Patrick, thank you for providing your honest opinion here! You answered my primary question which was re: songwriting. I had thought Output's Arcade would supply me what I needed, but I think this is the way to go! Appreciate it!

Lol. If you know you know!! I love it bro

Thank you! Much Love! HareKrishna&GodBless❤️🙏

really enjoyed this

I ALMOST BROKE MY MOUSE FROM PRESSING THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON ....YOUR DRUMS HIT PROPERLY!!!!!!!!

Didnt even know it was so serious. Might have to look into this sooner than later...

I might look into it,yet i have multiple samplers and like two whole sound libraries.You can make your own samples with found sounds and doing sound design.I also have so many thousands of records and some CDs,to rip,tweak,and mangle.I have to consider since i have so much to choose from,if Splice will be cost effective..

You nailed it

great video great songs ma man bless up thank you

Awesome video!

Thanks for this bro.

Great job and content. Now you have new subscriber.

Good insight thank u!

Very informative!

Good video bro keep at it!

thanx great tutorial

Great video bro

I would reccomend dragging your one shots into ESX24 ... way more malleability with the sampler. Great vid, thanks.

Good video brother!

Subbed expressly because of the Hawks mug

Thanks for this! Appreciate it. - David J.

That’s great, thanks

super helpful!

thx for the info

Splice is the shit. Been down with them since the beginning.

Love Splice! Just also signed up to this site called Mixxed. Similar to Splice. Not quite as slick but way cheaper!!! I think they are new to the game so worth keeping an eye on.

Killer video man, lots of good info. Side question though: how did you hook up your laptop to the bigger monitor (or is that a TV?). I have tried hooking up my iMac to a larger TV via hdmi, but I’m experiencing a slight delay - enough to make everything suck, especially mouse movement.

I am currently trying to determine if it is a good idea to take this subscription, thanks for the video
