The High-Energy, Aggressive Drum and Bass Sounds of Modestep

With dubstep, rock, and EDM at the core of their sound, Modestep has garnered an acclaimed reputation and a loyal fanbase through both their innovative live show and their studio albums and EPs.


Can you tell us more about the motivation behind this sample pack? Are you working on anything else at the moment?

After years of delivering mainly dubstep-oriented sample packs to splice, I've wanted to showcase some drum & bass sounds in this new pack. Expect to hear lots of new Modestep d&b very soon. (Josh)


What can creators expect to get inside this pack?

The pack is a collection of heavy bass sounds that are applicable to all heavy bass genres. High energy, pre-mixed and ready to drop into your project files to help you bring your tracks to life, quickly. Alongside a stockpile of pre-made loops, there is a vast library of one-shot sounds that I have been using as my personal library for the past few years. It has everything you need. (Josh)


Is there anything you learned or did differently with the production of this pack?

One new technique I learned and applied for this pack was the creation of original-sounding breaks. I re-made a ton of famous breaks such as the Amen and Hotcakes breaks at their original tempos and sped them up to give an authentic sound. These are some of the best breaks I've used in my tracks and I'm really happy with the outcome. I hope everyone finds them as useful as I have! (Josh)

What is Splice Sounds?

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.

What happens to the sounds I download if I cancel?

Every sound you download is yours forever. Keep everything you download, even if you cancel. Learn more about our cancellation policy here.
