⏳ Stop losing hours in Splice search

Starting this week, you'll get 2 newsletter editions a week instead of 1.

The Briefing (Fridays) is the new flagship:

High-signal news, tool updates, and 1 deep-dive story per week. The format is tighter and more analytical. Less link-dumping, more context you can use in 15 seconds per item.

The Workshop (Wednesday) keeps the tutorials:

1 per week, music production or promotion. Focused. No noise around it.

Why the split? One weekly issue tried to do everything at once. News and tutorials compete for attention in the same scroll.

By separating them, each issue gets to do 1 thing well.

You're not getting less. You're getting the same content in the format it deserves.

Now, let’s cut to the chase.

You open Splice. You search "drum break." You get 200 results. You preview 40. You download 8. You do this 4 more times for bass shots, risers, and loops. An hour later, you have a folder and no beat.

Splice now has an official MCP server. You can connect it directly inside Claude.

Describe what you need, Claude runs all the searches at the same time, and you download the results into the Splice app without leaving the chat.

Here is how to set it up and use it:

1 - Connect the server:

In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Browse Connectors. Find Splice, add it, and connect your account. You will see the available tools listed once it is live.

2 - Run parallel searches:

Type one message describing everything you need. For a drum and bass track: drum breaks, drum one shots, bass one shots, and transition risers. Claude runs all 4 searches at the same time.

3 - Preview and download:

Preview results inside Claude's interface. When you find what you want, tell Claude to download directly to the Splice app, then drag and drop from there into your DAW.

4 - Search by image or video:

Drop a video, an image, or even a Wikipedia page into the chat. Claude reads the mood or context and pulls sounds that match.

5 - Train Claude on your format:

Ask Claude to find 16 drum one shots formatted for a drum rack.

Once it does it right, say "remember this as a skill."

From that point on, typing "drum rack" triggers your preferred format automatically.

Requires a Splice subscription. The MCP server is live now.

This is cool too. You can hook up your local folder via Claude Co-Work to actually chat with your entire file system to find locally saved Splice samples
