At his startup Splice<\/a>,\u00a0Steve Martocci said he\u2019s aiming to build\u00a0\u201cthe creative hub for the modern musician.\u201d And with the latest addition to the service, he\u2019s looking to work with sound designers and sound editors, too.<\/p>\n Splice offers both collaboration tools<\/a>\u00a0and a library of royalty-free music samples, which it calls Splice Sounds<\/a>. More recently, it\u2019s expanded that library beyond music, to include sound effects.<\/p>\n The company says there are already almost 100,000 effects in Splice Sounds, sourced from independent producers like Ric Viers of Blastwave FX, J.R. Fountain of Big Room Sound\u00a0<\/span>and Coll Anderson of C.A. Sound. The dashboard currently highlights things like animal sounds, household noises and even more science fictional sounds like lasers and aliens.<\/span><\/p>\n The new sound effects are included in a Splice Sounds subscription, where pricing starts at $7.99 per month.\u00a0The startup says that Splice Sounds are already generating significant revenue for musicians and independent labels \u2014 it\u2019s making payments totaling $1 million each quarter.<\/p>\n And while Martocci (who previously co-founded GroupMe) told me\u00a0he\u2019s hoping that this will help Splice reach new customers, he also said the move was inspired by the musicians who already work with the startup.<\/p>\n \u201cThey put their hands into a lot of different things,\u201d he said. \u201cThey might be doing some film scoring or podcasting or game audio \u2026\u00a0There is just this huge additional need for audio.\u201d<\/p>\n For example, the company sent me a\u00a0quote from Paul Hammer of the band Savoir Adore<\/a>, who praised Splice\u2019s ability to help him find music in a certain genre or mood.<\/p>\n \u201cI do quite a bit of sound<\/span> design work as well, and often the hardest part of this is finding the right sound<\/span> quickly. i.e. \u2013 a specific sound<\/span> or a specific type of emotion or feeling attached to that sound,\u201d Hammer added.<\/span>\u00a0\u201cWith a splice<\/span> database, I imagine finding sound<\/span> effects will be as easy and accurate as the sample library, and that would be super helpful working on sound<\/span> design projects.\u201d<\/p>\n Featured Image: Splice<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Splice](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/04\/website-screenshot.png?w=680\")
