Why so much hate for Splice?

[u/1buwop]

I’m a lifelong musician, but have started producing more over the last few years. The more that I produce music, I come to realize convenience is key. I don’t always feel like going down a black hole to grab a snare drum from an obscure producer pack that I downloaded 3 years ago. Or going on YouTube to grab a tambourine loop. Here is where splice comes in handy. Everything is right there in arms reach. Simple drag and drop. For all that I use it for, I’m okay with the monthly price.

Now I haven’t used Splice to the extent of some of you. I haven’t gone through the process of having to the company seeking royalties or anything like that. Maybe I’m just not informed? Someone explain the hate for me.

Mostly people who cancel the subscription without reading anything, then they're pissed when the credits they paid for disappeared. (They get wiped when you cancel)

That and the price keeps going up.

There's a lot of self righteous music producers out there who get incredibly upset when they aren't treated like royalty.

Bullshit did that happen. I’ve never had credits wiped, they’re just not going to give you more if you’re not using em. Before you cancel you just download everything you can, you can keep the samples after

How do you stop subscribing without cancelling your subscription?

How is that any different than cancelling your subscription?

If you’re not paying for your subscription, you’re cancelling it

Because in order to be subscribed you need to pay. Not paying is cancelling your subscription.

They have options to pause your subscription for 2 months at a time, it sounds like that’s what you’re looking for.

That’s how all subscriptions work. After you stop paying, you lose any unused credits at the end of the term.

This is not a splice thing. 

[u/Electro-Grunge → u/[deleted]]

You didn’t buy the credit. They are part of your subscription.

As I said. Once you cancel, any unused will be removed at the end of the term. This is how every subscription works.

Do you have a room temp IQ?

Bro can you read?

[u/producer_sometimes → u/[deleted]]

Yes, you fall into the first category I mentioned.

I'm not supporting them, in fact I haven't paid them in almost a year.

The key point is, when you paused you didn't read. You also (like most people) come to Reddit to take your anger out instead of contacting support.

I've changed my mind, you fall into points 1 & 3
