Splice

Splice is a platform for music producers that combines a catalog of royalty-free sounds with a way to acquire plugins. Subscribers can browse and download samples, loops, one-shots, presets and sound effects from artists, labels and sound designers, and the sounds can be used in any DAW.

Producers work through a desktop app, a Sounds plugin that runs inside the DAW, and integrations with workstations such as Ableton Live, Studio One and Pro Tools. The service also offers Splice INSTRUMENT, a virtual instrument with preset packs and monthly free drops, and a rent-to-own program that lets users pay as they go for full licenses of third-party plugins without interest.

Splice is a hosted commercial service with subscription plans for sounds and an instrument plan, and plan details are on its pricing page. It suits bedroom producers and professionals who want a steady supply of cleared sounds and a lower upfront cost for plugins.
