Some of you are probably already well aware of what Splice is but, for those of you who aren’t familiar, Splice is a platform which not only includes thousands of samples, presets and effects from sound engineers, but also features carefully designed packs/projects from your favourite producers. There are a lot of places online which offer up samples for free (you can check out our guide to the 7 Essential Sites to Download High-Quality Free Samples here and here), but there are some which cost a monthly fee, like Splice, where you may download sounds to your heart’s content. Using samples in your beats can not only provide you with new and interesting sounds, but also inspire creativity and push you out of your comfort zones. As music producers, we all love a good high-quality sample pack.
