Splice now works directly within Pro Tools
Splice’s sample library is now integrated into Pro Tools, for smoother music creation.
Accessing samples while producing music just got a lot easier for users of Avid’s Pro Tools. Splice, the popular sample library platform, is now fully integrated into the DAW, allowing music makers to browse, preview and drop in samples without ever leaving their session.
This integration is designed to streamline the creative process. Previously, users had to search Splice in a separate window, download the sample, and manually import it into their project. Now, the entire process can happen inside Pro Tools.
Alongside the standard browsing, Pro Tools users can also make use of Splice’s “search with sound” feature. This is an AI-powered tool that analyses an audio clip’s rhythm, key, and tempo to find fitting samples. Users can simply drag a sound from the timeline into the search panel and instantly discover related samples. Those sounds can then be added directly back into the project, cutting down on time and keeping the workflow smooth.
There are over 2,500 free samples available to all Pro Tools users. For full access to the Splice catalogue, users can sign up for a monthly subscription.
The change is part of a broader trend in music technology: creating faster, more connected tools to reduce friction in the creative process. As Music Ally notes, “integrations like this help smooth out wrinkles that stop the flow.”
