It has it all! For all your musical needs!
I love using Splice, the way they thought of how it is to be an artist and want to find samples, plugins, daws. And how to retrieve and store all your projects with a click of a button. Splice is my go to website for all my musical needs and wants, and takes the pain out of collaborations with other artists. I definitely recommend this one!

Best sample library
Splice may cost $7 a month, but it is well worth it. It has a massive amount of high quality samples for any genre.
It did not work out for me
It said it was free when it was not at all which totally disappointed me. Now splice ads keep popping up.

Great way of spending money on samples.
It is a lot better when you can select which samples without getting the whole pack.
