"From the Studio to the Dance Floor" — A Sit Down with Erb N Dub

Known for his high-energy 4 deck, scratch-laden DJ sets and earth-shattering production, Erb N Dub (Peter Chapman) is an artist consistently going from strength to strength—over fifteen years of global shows, chart-topping releases and major sponsorship deals. In this interview we ask him about his unique sound and approach to making this sample pack.


How would you describe your sound?

Energetic. When I’m writing music if it's not making me vibe out I’m not in it. It’s all about transferring energy from the studio to the dance floor.


What was the inspiration behind the pack?

I designed the pack so it was ready to use. Yes, the sounds can be pushed/processed more but I wanted to design a pack that was a go-to for killer sounds. The presets were also designed as an almost "Essentials" pack. Lots of useful sounds ready to use and or mangle. So the inspiration was really a pack I would use myself. No fillers!


How do you hope producers use the sounds in your pack?

I hope they use these sounds to make killer music! One of the bass Serum presets has already been used by a huge dnb act and the track is currently in the UK national chart top ten. It's smashed it! This is exactly what this pack was designed for — to cut out some of the process of sound design and focus on making sick music!


What piece of advice do you give to yourself starting out in music?

Keep it simple. You can do so much with a few Splice samples and presets. You don’t need everything that’s out there. Keep it basic and focus on the songwriting!

Splice Sounds is an industry-leading catalog of royalty-free samples, loops, one-shots, MIDI and presets for music production. Browse sounds by genre, instrument, key, BPM, and more, preview individual sounds, search by text or audio, and download the ones that fit your track.

Are Splice sounds royalty-free?

Yes, every single sample on Splice is 100% royalty free, meaning they're free to use, even for commercial use. You can download samples on Splice, then make and release original music with those samples, and you don't owe Splice (or anyone else) any more than your subscription fee, even if your track goes viral.

Can I use Splice sounds for commercial use?

Yes. In fact, we can even supply you with documentation in case you ever need to prove that your music is royalty-free and properly licensed. The license for sounds you download from Splice Sounds permits use for commercial and non-commercial purposes so long as you remain in compliance with our Terms of Use.

Is my DAW supported?

Splice Sounds works with any DAW. Download samples and add them directly to your projects using the Splice Sounds Plugin (beta) or the Desktop App. All purchased samples are downloaded locally to your machine in .wav format.

Ableton, Fender Studio Pro, and Pro Tools users should use the Splice direct integrations in their DAWs for the best workflow experience, plus a rotating selection of free sounds for their projects.

For all other DAWs, download the free Splice Sounds Plugin (beta) to search, browse, and preview samples in your project's key and tempo. Then, subscribe to download sounds or create Variations.

How do Sounds credits work?

Use credits to download your favorite samples, loops, one-shots, presets, MIDI & more. All samples are one credit each. MIDI patterns and presets use up to three credits each. Unused credits automatically roll over to the next month. Keep everything you download, even if you cancel.

With our DAW integration plans for Ableton Live, Fender Studio Pro, and Pro Tools, you can license up to 100 individual samples per day by simply dragging and dropping the samples into your project. Once licensed, samples live in your Library, and you can download them at any time. With a Creator or Creator+ plan, you can also license up to 100 sounds per day directly in any of our native DAW integrations without using credits.

Do I have to download a full pack or can I download individual samples?

You can download individual samples on Splice, not just full packs. Every single sample, preset, MIDI, one shot, and loop on Splice is available for individual download, so you can only download what you need.
