    So i found Splice a nice way to find random loops and inspiration grave.

    But i am not willing to pay for downloading HQ versions, when those previews are enough to use them as inspiration.

    Did somebody found a solution for that?

    Find a sample and play the preview.

    Right-click anywhere on the page and choose:

    Inspect or press Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Opt+I (Mac)

    Go to the Network tab.

    Play the sample preview again.

    In the Network tab, filter by:

    (marked yellow in PNG)
    Type: Media or XHR
    Search Method / Get


    Right-click that request, then click:

    Open in new tab or Copy link address

    In the new tab, the preview should play. Right-click and choose:

    Save audio as…

    Okay this works very nice, even its a bit hard to find the right files, you want to download. And for the sake of gawd, you cant copy the filename splice lists. :deep_facepalm:

    I have another idea, which i havnt thought about it before:

    I opened a wave editor and simple recorded the preview as i went through the files. I know i would lose bpm information and pitch, but who cares, its just about inspiration anyway and give splice not a single cent.

    :) 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. :wink:

    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.

    i am not wanting to use them anyway. its just for hearing something different.

    If you put the word samba into splice, there are quite some nice results in the free versions, you can maximize by playing with the filtering.
    Its quick for me.
    I am also using freesounds - but entering samba doesnt really give only like 5 results.

    Otherwise yes i wouldnt pay for splice, the credit system is overpriced and in general im not supporting, what this company does.

    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).
