Other colorful styles incorporated into this pack include samba-reggae, samba-Afro, and variations of Alfo-Brazilian folkloric rhythms from Angola and Congo.
They performed the many instruments associated with different samba styles including the repinique, three types of surdo, cuica, tamborim, two types of timbau, pandeiro, chocalho, snare drum, agogos, apito (a whistle), and caxixi.

Splice Originals Soulful Strings with The Splice String Quartet WAV
The Splice String Quartet returned to the studio to perform soulful strings in the classic 1970s soul style. For this edition, we focused on creating string loops that would be at home in modern and classic R&B productions.
We recorded and layered the arrangements multiple times to create a larger chamber ensemble sound that resembles the classic Motown Records and Brunswick Records releases of the 70s. Influences that inspired the string compositions in this pack range from the classics of Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, and The Delphonics all the way through modern acts like Khalid and Daniel Ceasar. Add the lush emotional sounds of real strings to your productions with this pack.

Splice Originals Pocket Drums with Corey Fonville WAV
Recorded at Aura Studios Brooklyn, Splice Originals: Pocket Drums focuses on the tight Philadelphia drum sound that Questlove pioneered. Percussion styles in the pack represent funk, soul, disco, hip hop, and R&B. You’ll find all of the quintessential breakbeat-style grooves that capture that 1970s groovy feeling, plus a few surprises.
Having picked up drum sticks at the age of two and later studying at the Dave Brubeck Institute in Stockton, CA, Corey Fonville has traveled the world with several notable artists. He was most recently touring with the Nicholas Payton Trio and is a member of the Christian Scott Quintet. He also has his own band called Butcher Brown.

These harmonies emote a delicate power that’s hard to describe. They’ll soften the jagged edges of your productions while commanding attention with their epiphanic qualities.
We recorded his performance at Aura Studios in Brooklyn with a simple signal chain. We ran a Bock 47 microphone through an Avedis Audio Ma5 pre-amp and Tubetech CL1B. We left some of the loops and one-shots raw and used VocalSynth to layer and lace the rest.
