In doing so, you\u2019ve supported the sound designers, producers, vocalists, and instrumentalists who distribute their sounds on Splice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve put your own stamp on sounds from household names like Scott Storch, Travis Barker, and Boi-1da. You\u2019ve also supported independent creators at the top of their game, like sound designer Capsun of the beloved boutique sample label Capsun ProAudio and vocalist Kate Wild who runs the label 91Vocals. You\u2019ve helped turn dreams into realities for emerging artists like KARRA, who was working at Jersey Mike\u2019s Subs when she released her first Splice vocal pack and now has a publishing deal and samples on a GRAMMY-nominated album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve made making samples a meaningful source of income for so many creators and a viable future career path for many more. Take, for instance, the participants of Splice\u2019s inaugural <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Creator Class (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/meet-creator-class-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creator Class<\/a>, a program designed to develop the sample creation skills of promising sound creators, musicians, producers, and engineers. Their first packs will come out on Splice later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With sounds from Splice, you\u2019ve pushed boundaries, broken down barriers, and redefined what collaboration looks like. You\u2019ve accomplished incredible things. Some of you have completed your first track. Others have produced GRAMMY-winning hits. All of you have supported your fellow independent artists in your creative process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be very proud. On behalf of the Splice community, we thank you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together, you and fellow artists have paid $25 million to other musicians for their sounds on Splice.
