Splice has announced that it is launching the Country music genre in its Create AI tool, which allows producers, songwriters, and instrumentalists to build song starters and create stacks using compatible sounds from across the vast Splice catalog.
The Splice team spent months in Nashville, Austin, and Los Angeles to capture rich, authentic, human-made country music sounds for this launch. Released under a new sample label, “Splice Country” features performances from some of the best country musicians in Nashville, including Devin Malone (Jelly Roll, Carrie Underwood), Trevor Nealon (Willie Nelson, Lee Ann Womack), and Kate L. Malone (Sam Hunt, Emma White).
“Create is already changing the game for producers across genres whose phones are filled with Stacks and I’m looking forward to seeing how the country community engages with the tool,” said Content Kenny Ochoa, SVP of Content at Splice. “Our ability to deliver these beautiful country samples right into studio workflows is going to make such a difference for country producers. It was important to us to get this right, to find the right musicians to play on these sample packs, and get the best recording quality and instrumentation that producers in the country space want to use.”
“Inspiration can be a luxury when you’re always creating,” says CMA Award-winning songwriter Mikey Reaves (Miranda Lambert, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson), producer of the recently released Country Mojo & Spice sound pack. “That’s where Splice Create comes in. With a single click, it generates a full production vibe—again & again—until the right one sparks your next song.”
Splice Country is home to ten new sample packs featuring loops and melodies using the unique instruments that define the genre; the dobro, pedal steel, lap steel, and banjo. These sounds are now accessible in Splice’s Create Mode, providing country producers with the same technology embraced by songwriters, producers, and Splice users worldwide.
