Spoiler: now I know how

now I know how

Thanks

 

to see (hear) just one track:
Click the 3 dots (hamburger) menu on the far right
and select open in new tab

 

simple and best way just record it , using any recorder

 

That's what I do sometimes, record stuff either into Reaper or audio editor, not just Splice, but whatever tickles my fancy. It's easy-peasy.

But sometimes I download stuff with Video DownloadHelper Firefox addon, or yt-dlp command line downloader.

 

they are one of the few companies that have had their content removed from the News site. I'd rather pay to use anything on there, or just not use it. Otherwise, someone can heavily edit them until unrecognizable; but who needs paid samples to make unrecognizable. You can do that with anything, and with these you are stuck doing either that or clearing and paying for them. You have signed up to deal with them in some way right off the bat.

So why even check them out? They are the sample version of the tree that fell over in the woods.

 

Supporting them is probably the best case scenario for the track i'm making once I use their samples. It's like that demo db thread that was on here. A complex download method, and with no payoff at the end other than someone waiting to stick their hand in my pockets (in this example).

 

Browser Recording:
The web audio recorder:

My quickly cobbled-together userscript tested in tempermonkey that adds a download button beside all splice audios that grabs from network tab in Firefox debugging view
Not responcable for legal troubles lol
use at your own risk

what i do when i want something to sample, anything its with the brave browser, install the addon Sample.

Its ez, and sample anything u play on the browser... ANYTHING.
For bpm and stuff i use some calculator or directly let the daw make the work to find tempo, the key feature if it doesnt have it, u have just open an EQ like pro q 4, use the Spectrum Grab into the Analyzer options and check wheres the fundamental. If neede u can show the piano roll button to check what note exactly is.

 

I guess you already noticed the Splicer release on the sister site. It works after a reboot, and plays inside the DAW. The only thing not working is the sync for drums, at least on my end, the files play offbeat so it's pretty useless that way.

But you can preview and even drag and drop, so that is a win. If the star that made this could fix the sync, it would be a total success of a release.

I really don't get why they don't let you preview freely with a free account. At the end of the day, most people who do want to release stuff would end up buying most of their samples.

And the fact that you can use it as inspiration? Well, wtf, you can't cash in on every freaking thing.
