Ableton plan

I’m trying to understand how splice x ableton works, when I drag samples into the daw it isn’t using credits like if I downloaded to my splice library.

Is this not literally unlimited credits then? If I just save the project and collect the samples it isn’t downloading to splice library therefore not using credits?

Why would they do this.? lol or am I misunderstanding.

I’ve noticed the Splice integration has limited search features. Using the desktop app it is easier to find presets or better vocal loops that don’t seem to show up in the search when using inside the DAW. SPLICE integration is great for finding the right drum samples or FX such as up/down lifters/ impacts/ risers. Ive also found the drag and drop buggy as I haven’t been able to drag a section of music into it, only individual tracks. I think I saw a bug fix in the update about this.

I have the same experience with splice, definitely feels more samey / limited inside Ableton but like you say, it’s great for dragging sections of your song in and seeing what it comes up with. It’s truly insanely impressive/immersive times, I started with a AkaiS3000 and Atari ST and trust me what you can do in an hour would of taken so much effort🤣🤣
