So I'm a computer programmer and an entrepreneur. We have these incredible tools for making software
together collaboratively and it's enabled so much of what apps and
the Internet has done with open source software and all that. As music fans
and friends musicians we saw the struggles they were going through and we
think that the world needed this so that music can be made better.
Splice is the cloud platform for music producers.
We help them collaborate, work better,
discover new sounds and share their stuff.
I mean, I think we look at it four pillars.
You have Splice studio, where producers can back up their projects easily, work with each other.
You have Splice community where they can share their project files, find
other collaborators. And then you have Splice sounds where they can audition and
find individual samples. And Splice plugin is this database of the most
popular plugins available.
We did very much begin thinking we were building Github for Ableton.
There's so much opportunity in the space.
Like the industry's really lagged behind by embracing the web as a part of the
production process.
You can come in and with our DNA player visualize how a song
looks and start to understand the arrangement. The new product we just launched
the Spice beat maker, you can create music with that just through trial and error.
I think that's something any fan can do. Right, it's just like here's where a kit goes
that sounds right, that doesn't sound right.
Basically anyone can do it in a matter of seconds, you can make and share beats with your friends.
It's a first experience for a lot of people who have never made music before.
And I think learning and getting in the door with products like that, you know, you will
start seeing more people make music.
