Splice launches $1,000 competition with chance to work with producer OliverRoyalty-free sample library Splice is offering users $1,000 and a chance to collaborate with producer Oliver in a new competition.
To enter, you need to create a sample pack of your own original sounds and loops, and upload them to a file hosting service like Dropbox or Google Drive. There aren’t any restrictions on the number of samples in your pack, and you’ll be judged on quality over quantity.

Make a demo track using your sounds as well as five samples from Oliver’s Collection, which can be found on the Splice Discord – keep it to under a minute in length. Finally, submit the track and pack via the link found in the same Discord channel.
If you’re interested, you’ll have until 11:59pm EST on 2 August to submit your track and pack. Once the submission period has ended, voting will open. You need to vote for three other submissions between 12:00am on 3 August and 6:00pm on 5 August. Only participants can vote, and you’ll be disqualified automatically if you don’t vote for three other submissions.
Oliver will be choosing three winners via livestream from the top ten tracks once voting is complete. The winner will get $1,000 USD and be considered to contribute to the next Oliver pack or work with Oliver on a session. The runner-up will get $500, while the third-place winner will get $250.
Producer, DJ, sound designer and mix engineer Oliver has worked with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, Khalid and Latto in recent years, and received a Grammy nominee in 2018 for his work on Chromeo’s album Head Over Heels. His Power Tools sample pack has also most notably been used in the “song of the summer,” Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, says Splice.

He has created four Splice Sounds sample packs in his Power Tools series, and all of them have topped the Splice charts.
