You can now find samples by singing into the Splice app

Splice has launched a new feature for its iOS app called Splice Mic.

The new addition lets you record vocals straight into the app over existing Stacks — Splice’s name for a selection of loops from their catalogue that make up an idea, including drum loops, basslines, and synth lines.

The vocals can then be saved along with your Stack, or you can use Splice’s built-in AI tools to analyse the recording and recommend more loops from Splice’s library that match your vocal.

Once you’re happy with the Stack and vocals you’ve created, you can save them and export them to your DAW to continue working on the idea. Splice will maintain all pitch shifting and warping to ensure your samples remain compatible. 

“The phone is already a huge part of music making,” said Splice’s SVP of content, Kenny Ochoa. “Now songwriters and producers can record vocal ideas over Stacks of samples. They can experiment with vocal, lyric, and genre and have even more control over their creative vision, and now those Stacks can be merged with vocals.”

Splice Mic is now available in beta on the free Splice Mobile app. Click here to download the app and watch the video below to hear it in action.

Last year, Splice updated its mobile app with an AI interface. Following that, the sample giant added custom sample uploads to its AI-powered Create engine.
