Its AI-assisted technology listens to your creations in real time and serves up \u2018complementary sounds\u2019 (hence the name) from across the vast Splice catalog to feed your music-making instincts while you create. It flips samples in different styles, keys, and tempos to unlock billions of musical outcomes that shift with every decision you make. The result? Musically relevant loops in split-seconds\u2014and more time focussing on what really matters: making music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"CoSo by Splice \u2014 Full App Walkthrough (iOS\/Android)\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Kbgj0W26Rw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"download the CoSo app from the Apple App Store (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/coso-by-splice\/id1574361413?uo=2\" target=\"_blank\">download the CoSo app from the Apple App Store<\/a> or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Google Play Store, (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.splice.stacksmobile\" target=\"_blank\">Google Play Store,<\/a> and sign in to your Splice account (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"or create one for free (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/accounts\/sign-up\" target=\"_blank\">or create one for free<\/a>). Next, create a Stack by choosing a style, and add up to eight layers of Splice loops\u2014from beats and bass to strings, pads, keys, and even vocals. Swipe right for a new sound, swipe left to delete, tap a layer to mute it, and long-press to solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made your Stack, you can save it and duplicate it to take your creation in a new direction. You can share with collaborators via a unique URL, and locate the individual samples on Splice, where you can drag-and-drop into your DAW for building into a full song. The idea with CoSo is that it\u2019s an inspiring way to make music, whatever path you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Use Splice Mobile to instantly test and record ideas, explore genres, and unlock new creative possibilities\u2014all from your phone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.onelink.me\/vNNn\/l2edvqvz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download Splice Mobile<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get to know CoSo, Splice&#8217;s new music creation surface for iOS and Android.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":21197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1695,1692],"tags":[1792,1710,1254,3],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
