Splice announces new integration with Pro Tools

Splice has announced a new integration with AVID’s Pro Tools.

The new feature allows users to select and browse through Splice’s library of millions of samples directly from the DAW, allowing drag-and-drop integration directly onto the timeline.

Pro Tools users can also drag audio, samples and sounds from the timeline into the new Splice window and search for sounds in the Splice catalogue that match that audio, similar to Splice’s own AI-powered CoSo and Create A Stack features that launched over the past few years.

You can even select multiple tracks of audio and drag them in, and Splice will analyse them all together and recommend new audio that’s most compatible. Splice will automatically time stretch any samples to match the BPM of the project, and you can also hit the Transpose switch and it will automatically transpose samples to the key of your project.

Speaking about the integration, Avid’s SVP of Product, Kenna Hilburn, said, “Whether producers and artists are sketching out ideas, building out tracks, or applying final touches, Pro Tools’ Splice integration provides a more powerful environment for creating music — giving users the ability to quickly find the perfect sound while staying in their creative flow.”

In April, Splice announced it had acquired virtual instrument company Spitfire Audio for a reported $50 million (USD). That followed the launch of a new feature for its iOS app called Splice Mic.

Jialing announces new EP, ‘WUPS!’, on Sorry Records, shares ‘NINE OH NINE’: Listen

Jialing is releasing a new EP, ‘WUPS!’.

The four-tracker lands on 8th August via New York’s Sorry Records and is described as a “floorshaking exploration of big room Latin house, queer vocal slammers, and plenty of breaks and bass in between”.

Check out the first track to be shared from the EP, ‘NINE OH NINE’, below. You can a pre-order a copy of ‘WUPS!’ from Bandcamp here.

Announcing the release in an Instagram post, Jialing wrote: “I wrote these demos after I lost my laptop and harddrive on the MTA (big WUPS!) and wanted to quit but then realized that life’s too short so f it I just wanna have fun and release music every month. Oops I’m really not perfect. I’m sorry.”

The new EP follows the Baltimore-born, New York-based Taiwanese-American producer’s recent single ‘SETMEFREE’, the fifth edition of their ‘CLUB TOOLS’ series, and the ‘BLIZZARD’ EP from earlier this year, as well as last November’s collaborative ‘WOE’ release with Kade Young.

Last July, Jialing dropped the ‘FREAKY HORNS’ EP on Clasico Records.
