Splice users find all kinds of ways to work our tools into their workflow – Panic Bomber uses Splice purely for backing up his projects to the cloud. Recently, he almost ran into some trouble and lost all of his drum settings in Battery. Luckily, Splice was able to help him out. Hear the story as told by Panic Bomber:<\/div>\n

As an active musician, I use Ableton Live every day, and I\u2019ve been using Splice to help keep everything in check. \u00a0To be honest, I don\u2019t think about it much. I just create my projects in the Splice folder and keep the client running in the menu bar.<\/p>\n

I also use Native Instruments\u2019 Komplete, and I\u2019m an avid user of Battery for most of my drum programming. \u00a0I keep most of my sample libraries on an external hard drive.<\/p>\n

The other day I was at a coffee shop with my laptop & headphones with some time to kill so I figured I\u2019d work on some projects. \u00a0I opened up a project thick with Battery instances and as it loaded. I dismissed Battery messages complaining it could not find missing samples. So I decided to \u201cSkip Missing\u201d samples and continue working without my drums. \u00a0I worked on some synths for a while, then saved and called it a day.<\/p>\n

Back at the studio, with my external hard drive with my Battery library attached, I reopened the session but discovered none of my drums were playing, all the samples were grayed out, with no obvious way to reload them.<\/p>\n

\"GjJwbEi\"<\/p>\n

I panicked, read the manual, looked up solutions on forums, fired off an email to NI\u2019s support, but apparently there\u2019s no way to reload samples in Battery without reloading the full Kit, which overwrites any customization or additional changes you\u2019ve made to a kit. \u00a0Cue depression.<\/p>\n

Then I remembered Splice. \u00a0I simply went to splice.com and found my session. \u00a0First I made a copy of the most recent version from the coffee shop with my synth changes. \u00a0Then by looking at my project timeline on splice.com, I figured out which was the most recent version of the project with the drums intact. \u00a0I simply clicked \u201copen\u201d to load it into Ableton, then I copied in the updated synth parts from Ableton\u2019s file browser.<\/p>\n

\"Rk1Pxag\"<\/p>\n

Boom. Splice just saved my butt from losing all my drum tracks. \u00a0And I didn\u2019t even have to really think about manually keeping copies. \u00a0It was running in the background for me the whole time, there for me when I needed it.<\/p>\n

Thanks Splice.<\/p>\n
