One of the notable differences exists in the area of free downloads. Splice would be ideal for those who might not be creating or producing every single day, but who will actively create and will find themselves digging in at various times throughout their month of membership. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as not everyone will be using these services for strictly music production they could be using these services for film, tv, and video applications, amongst other things. Splice still stands up to Loopcloud and manages to hold its own against most of Loopcloud’s services, but it lacks the DAW integration features. The added VST plugins, sample auditioning, effects rack and other bits and bobs definitely lend themselves to those out there who have a strong workflow and don’t want anything to get in their way when creating.
Loopcloud leans towards being a more creative platform overall with its inclusion of extra software, VST plugins, and DAW integration.
They both have nearly identical pricing and both offer cloud backup, free downloads, and what can only be described as an enormous collection of sounds and samples. The key differences between these two sites are few and far between. In short, the only really distinct effect this split had was that around 2 million samples previously available on both platforms, became exclusively available on Loopcloud and that Loopcloud released an ‘app-style’ portal which lets your DAW communicate directly with their library – but I’ll say more on this later. It also bears mentioning that if you are a Beatport user, Loopcloud has also partnered up with Beatport to offer a selection of cross-platform style services including access to samples, tools, and plugins.

Loopmasters and Splice used to operate in partnership, but not long ago they amicably parted ways and have set off on their own trajectories. With cloud-based storage technology and easy internet access becoming more readily available to people across the world, it’s no surprise that companies like Loopcloud and Splice have popped up and used these technologies to capitalize on the creative audio industry.
