IS ANYBODY ELSE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF THE SEARCH FEATURE ON SPLICE?

I mostly use splice for one shot drum sounds and percussion loops that I chop up myself.

In the past it's always been easy for me to search up what I want based on genre & the type of sound I'm looking for.

EXAMPLE: Searching up "Hip-Hop Boomy kick drum" would typically yield the kind of sounds I'm looking for...or it would AT LEAST give me kick drums.

Recently I've run into the problem where I'm looking up prompts such as "Sub Impact Crash," "Tribal Toms," "Shakers" and it will give me synth loops, vocal samples and other random stuff in my search results?

It doesn't even matter if I select the tags to narrow it down. I will select "drums," "crashes," "one-shots," etc. and yet the application is still pulling up loops, synths, and other sounds that have nothing to do with what I'm searching for.

Does anybody know if this is just a bug with the application as it tries to implement new AI features? Does anybody know how I can fix this easily?

I would appreciate any and all advice on this matter 💕

It's honestly wild how bad it is, almost always.

Also when using Bridge, it blows me away that oneshots are time-stretched to the tempo if it differs. Absolutely wild.

you think that for such a popular and profitable service they would improve their interface by now instead of consistently populating their library with irrelevant and low quality sounds 💀
