52 Cues - A Production Music Podcast

We Need to Talk About Splice

Season 2022 Episode 7

Pull up a chair, friends. We need to talk about Splice, how I feel it is getting unfairly maligned, and the trend of prohibiting the use of any Splice sounds in production music. Plus, we listen to an epic orchestral trailer cue from 52 Cues community member, Pranav G!
