I use both. I use neither. I use one or the other. My favorite way to kill creative block is to just find a great musical loop in splice and change basics like the tempo n key, then build a song around that sample which inspired me, and when my work is full enough, mute the splice loop, and fill in the sonic space for whatever seems to be missing without that loop. So I end up with totally original work, but can get moving instantly.
I do that mentally. I may have a portion of an actual song replaying in my head and I’ll build a melody, rhythm, harmony, etc around it until I have something original. I’ll then actually make what’s in my head sans any sample. It really does help with creativity.
One thing you didn't mention is that unlike other "monthly" payment plans, the overall cost via the rental plan ends up being the same as if you bought the plugin in a single payment! Usually what happens in monthly plans is that they add "interest" (or some other way of increasing the overall cost). So Splice is really doing a great thing by not doing that.
@@flyvalentino9621 No they do have monthly payments, but if you just want to download a bunch of samples, you can do a month, get whichever samples you need, put them on your computer, and then they're yours and you don't need to keep a subscription.
Arcade totally changed how I throw in my vocals, the time it saves me slicing down clips alone makes it worth the money. Running it along side serum makes it so op idc what genre
I knew I made the right choice subscribing to your channel months ago! You never cease to fail us! And your music is incredible, it’s the most soothing thing to listen to!
Really well done video! I just moved out from garageband into FL studios, and I was thinking about getting one of these but I wasn't sure which one so this video was super helpful! Thank you!
Great video by the way. Love your playing! Coming from a fellow musician, your opinion is golden on the matters between the 2 formats.I am currently in search of a subscription platform for aux instruments, guitar loops, perc loops etc.Thanks for your breakdown of these platforms. Love your music bro. Peace and Blessings!
I'm at the crossroads.... which way to go? 🤷♂ thanks for the insight Patrick. Cost is always an issue, so I was leaning towards Splice... but then I noticed this on the Arcade website's FAQ: "Arcade is flexible. There are no pesky contracts and no commitments. You can easily cancel your account online. There are no cancellation fees - start or stop your account anytime." Start and stop at anytime with no cancellation fees!? I'm in! Not sure if Splice does this but I will start with Arcade for a couple of months... starting with the free trial.
Seriously impressed with you and those guitars, as well as how you demoed these services. Literally, I was trying to decide on one pot these services today and ran across your post. You helped me made my decision, BOTH... at least over time. Get to know one and then the other.
Great overview. I had watched your review of the Jamstick Sound studio Midi guitar, days before came across this video. Nice to see you using it to build a track!
Yes, finally! I was looking forward to this. I demo’d Splice last month and it was just okay for me. It’s not something I’d pay for month to month because I already have great one shots from Ableton and my Machine Mikro. As for Arcade, I will demo it this month and see how it goes. What I need is really just “sprinkles on top” and not a crazy amount of one shots when I tried Splice (but I got a few loops too) and soon, Arcade. Great video, Patrick! 🙌
@@stonebrownmusic3627 Hey Dennis, I pick Arcade over Splice. If you need a lot of one shots daily, Splice is great but for my needs, mostly some loops and the option to get creative with it and so I stuck with Arcade. I might hop into Splice again every 4 or 6 months to get some fresh one shots. Splice's strong suit is their one shots than the loops on there, in my honest opinion. With my tracks, what I usually do is build a track from scratch and then pull up Arcade for some variety and additional ear candy.
Nice video, Patrick! I found terms and the apos with Loopcloud much better than Splice, but things have changed since you created this video. Love your music 😁
D'Angelico fan? ;). Great video! I've been using Splice (I always have over 1000 credits unused it seems) for maybe two years but want to try Arcade. They have a 30 day trial so this was well-timed. Splice is a semi-organized no-real-workflow BIG bucket of loops and hits (with poor search. I've noticed) - so, I generally have to stumble through it to find tasty loops. I think having more of the workflow built into the Plug-in (and some of the DAW features: re-keying, slice & dice, etc.) might well make more sense to me.
I've used to Splice, never tried Arcade... it actually looks a bit more integrative. If you HADDD to choose... Splice or Arcade? Arcade is actually cheaper than Splice.
Does Arcade have SFX samples? Like gunshots and animal sounds for example. Its not the main thing we are looking for in Softwares like these, but as a Splice user I find it surprisingly useful to have access to tons of SFX.
As a user of both they are very different beasts! I like splice but have been using Arcade a lot just because its all ready to play just pick a line pack and off you go...
The only time I’ve ran into a copyright issue was with a drum beat I got from splice, and it flagged CZcams’s copyright claim. I disputed (because it’s a royalty free drum beat that I manipulated and made my own) and the claim was dropped. I think you’re safe as long as you’re maniple your samples and making them your own. (i.e. time stretching, chopping, pitch shifting) The odds of someone else doing exactly what you did are very slim.
CHEERS PATRICK. I've just subscribed to Arcade and your channel, looking forward to creating some new sounds. love your music and style. god bless. Esther Hendricks
@05:11 might be tryna get my hands on that jamstick! couldn't get ur link to work tho😭maybe i'm tweakin but i tried a few different browsers. anyways, thank for this video... sold me on heavenly keys! 🧨
Very cool, but I became immediately disinterested with the monthly fee...for a VST? I'm a one time purchase kind of guy. Subscriptions are for monthly magazines and newspapers, not software!
Is he using loops or are these sound example for an instrument on splice? I dont understand why he uses loops or samples I woulld make my own or create own sounds. So splice ist mostly for samples and loops and Output for plugins and instruments?
Great video - thank you! I am looking primarily for drum loops with some lo-fi and other coloring and texture (not just acoustic drum sample loops). Are either of these platforms particularly preferable for this purpose or is there another platform out there that I should be looking at?
I have 3 months of trial and I can open arcade on standalone but everytime i open on my fl studio it keep saying I am offline although i am not offline.Anybody know why I am facing this issue. Thanks
Hello Patrick, what editing paltforme do you use, I use mpc beats, is it me or is it not user friendly?? I also use Filmora and audacity for my video editing and I can navigate them fine, so is MPC overly complicated? Thanks!! Slice it is then, thanks!!
Arcade is fkng amazing man I was really surprised that it was that good. I have been wanting to try splice but not gonna lie it looks like Arcade is more worth the money and I really don't like the token based downloads I have never seen this and it's the biggest turn off I've seen so far

i do this too!! very fun to use samples as a diving board to jump off
Yup, me too

That’s very clever!
great idea!
If you listen to the video very carefully you will notice the speech is in sync in the music, so this is the best review rap video Ive seen. Thanks!
I'll take it! haha
Now I can't even listen to it as a normal tutorial

So splice has no monthly payments? i want to be sure im looking for a vocal sample plugin. Thanks if you respond

Your guitar playing is seriously next level. This video is super helpful
I liked how you called Acrade second to none, for being a multipurpose plugin, which also is kinda cheap but crazy useful. I totally agree!
I knew I made the right choice subscribing to your channel months ago! You never cease to fail us! And your music is incredible, it’s the most soothing thing to listen to!
Much appreciated, my friend. Very kind of you!
Very nice! I need that song you played towards the end though ;)

@@PatrickBreenMusic Thanks! :D
Really well done video! I just moved out from garageband into FL studios, and I was thinking about getting one of these but I wasn't sure which one so this video was super helpful! Thank you!
Seriously. It's good to use both. That way, you will have a wealth of samples and inspiration to build off of whenever needed.
what a dope vid 😍 I also use arcade a lot for the sprinkles on top ✨ Great comparison! 🙏🏻 btw loving the stache bro 👀💛💛💛
My dude! Much love homie!
This was sick! You’ve got some really JUICY chord stuff going on in some of these projects. Would love to see a video on how you usually build chords
Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷, I hope you enjoyed

Great video and audio production in your videos dude, well done! 👌🏼
Appreciate the kind words, my friend. Thank you!
holy shit, a review that’s not obnoxiously biased ! nice i’m gonna click that bell
amazing vibes and great perspective. your beats are sooooo good. subscribed. new fan for sure.
Appreciate that my friend 🙌🙏
Best videos in the game bro. Always leave watching them feeling inspired and learning something new. 🎸✌🏻

Why have I only just discovered your channel???? You are talent on top of talent.
thank you my friend. that is very kind 🙏
Your guitar setting are philthy! I'm sold on Arcade. I already have Splice and having both of them looks like it will enhance my musical workflow.
Thanks for the love John. Hope you enjoy Arcade! It's a lot of fun!
Excellent review vid of both. Well produced and solid content perspective.
Appreciate that man 🙏
Thank you for the product comparison!
Reason-dinosaurs be aware: Bridge and other Splice plugins, like Astra and Beatmaker, are VST3 or AU plugin format.
Love your videos dude! So chill and your tracks are absolute fire
Much appreciated my friend 🙏🙏 Very kind!
Great vid and appreciate showing about splice and the presets
Dude you ain't playing, your music incredible, amazing.
Appreciate the kind words, my friend!
@PatrickBreenMusic hate to seem thirsty, larrenwong would love something smooth ?
Ohhh mane, this is absolutely the best comparison! Really great vid and exactly my taste of music! Subscribed and ring button activated!
Great video comparison, just what I needed to know.. many thanks Patrick, great vibe to your tunes also..
You’re so brave coming on here with that Stache !
😂😂😂😂😂 Bro I'm dead. You know you love it
@@PatrickBreenMusic it’s not me you should be worried about ... has Olivia left yet or ???
great video...still undecided but im going to try splice first and then arcade....thanks!
Great video. Thank you! And it looked like a fun vacation. 😊
Great overview. I had watched your review of the Jamstick Sound studio Midi guitar, days before came across this video. Nice to see you using it to build a track!
Thank you for the kind words my friend 🙏
Thanks Patrick, great Vid mate. You also have some fine breezy tunes kickin' there. Love your work! Cheers and all the best!
People : Using Splice or Arcade is cheating
Also People: Superstar flipping a past hit to create another hit, genius.
I used to think it’s cheating, but it’s no different than using 32 presets on a DX7 in 1988.
I assume since Arcade is plug-in (I have 3 or so other Output Plug-ins) it will hit the cpu much more than just a imported WAV loop from Slice.
I got the same doubt
Easy fix, get a better cpu. You're welcome.
Convert your midi to audio. That saves the cpu
Great quality review, also you are quite a very talented musician. Well done!
Very kind. Thank you, my friend!
Thanks for the solid comparison. Very helpful.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Looking into both of these and this is a great help! Thanks man!!
Signing up with Splice through your link. Thanks man
Very comprehensive Patrick. Thank you fot that!
I use arcade and im vero happy to use it is simply and jave a lot of loop
Super dope video man! Just subbed!
Use both.
They’re great.

That's very kind, my friend. Thank you!
very good! great presentation and energy manegment!
Appreciate the kind words, my friend!
Thanks for explaining the credits
Nice guitar-playing! I can tell you've listened to lots of RnB/neosoul kinda stuff.
your guitars always look so clean. Do you like wipe them down with a microfiber cloth constantly? lol

the blue tiny guitar on minute 14 which is? looks great to travel
Great video! Very well done.
I use Output Arcade more than Splice, but I love Splicers Rent To Own program for plugins.
I agree! Rent To Own is awesome!
I MusicLuv It! Needed to see the differences before jumping in. Thanks a Platinum :-) The SC.
"Arcade, a luxury rather than necessity", splice it is!
nice Voice on ur Single!!! God Bless
Where can we find your music and follow you? Awesome vid, man. Thanks for your help!
Thanks Jordan - My latest single is here: bit.ly/morninglightsong. Next tune dropping soon! Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the great info as usual
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can I buy your album? Your sound is dope.
I’ve never used it, but I guess splice also has a collab function as well, which is free.
Yeah, definitely a useful feature for some people.
It’s true that record labels don’t release songs with samples from this plugins ?
Bro, you are dope!!!!!!!! Keep killing it!!!!!!!!!!
The guitar was fire!
Thanks for the video! Dope guitar songs 🎸
Cheers man!
Can you create your own sound and save your Sound Set and then create your own pack for others to use?🤔
what do you use with your guitar to get this sound?
I have 3 months of trial and I can open arcade on standalone but everytime i open on my fl studio it keep saying I am offline although i am not offline.Anybody know why I am facing this issue.
Thanks
Thx for this comparison 👌
Many of your tunes remind me of Ronny Jordan.
Might be a stupid question but what do you use for recording? Abelton?
In this video I'm using Logic Pro.
I think you need to include the vs with Loopcloud 😉
I can definitely check out Loopcloud for the next version of this video! Thanks for the suggestion!
How vast is the local library on both? Is there a similar thing just for voices? Thank you
fridn¡ thanks for explanation. What plugin do you use on guitar at 11:45 ? its like a wah but warmer ?
that guitar is making synth noises 😳
Splice example sounds like a men i trust song
I wanna sing 🎤 while I’m live-streaming on obs , will arcade stop this Audio lag I’ keep encountering on playback ?
Hi Patrick, I am very new to Output Arcade and I am trying to figure out how to export Output Arcade audio samples into Ableton Live 11? HELP
Hello Patrick, what editing paltforme do you use, I use mpc beats, is it me or is it not user friendly?? I also use Filmora and audacity for my video editing and I can navigate them fine, so is MPC overly complicated? Thanks!! Slice it is then, thanks!!
what about copyright infringment problems on both platforms?
