About Splice
Splice is a music technology company developing tools for music production, sound discovery and creative audio work. Its platform combines a subscription marketplace for royalty-free sounds with virtual instruments, music software licensing and AI-assisted production tools. It serves music producers, recording artists, audio engineers and sound designers, including creators working on film and game scores.
Splice Sounds gives subscribers access to millions of samples, loops, stems and MIDI presets. Producers can download individual sounds rather than purchase entire sample collections, bringing material from contributing artists, sample designers and labels into their own productions. The company's Rent-to-Own programme extends this approach to production software, allowing customers to pay monthly toward ownership of supported digital audio workstations and plugins.
From collaboration to production tools
Founded in 2013, Splice initially focused on cloud collaboration, project backup and version tracking across digital audio workstations such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro and FL Studio. The launch of Splice Sounds in 2015 and Rent-to-Own in 2016 broadened its role in music creation. Splice retired its original cloud collaboration product, Splice Studio, in March 2023 as it shifted its focus toward sound discovery, instruments and production environments.
Its product range includes Splice INSTRUMENT, Astra and Beatmaker, alongside AI-assisted discovery features such as Similar Sounds, Magic Fit and Variations. In November 2026, the company introduced Splice Create, a standalone digital audio workstation with the integrated Rheo creative assistant, synthesis tools and direct integration with its sound library.
Acquisitions have expanded Splice's capabilities in orchestral instruments, audio processing and vocal technology. Its 2025 acquisition of Spitfire Audio contributed technology to Splice INSTRUMENT, while the January 2026 acquisition of Kits AI added voice transformation and vocal modeling capabilities. Alongside its software and sound catalogue, Splice offers technique-based tutorials and music production masterclasses, connecting access to creative tools with practical instruction.
