Pro Tools 2025.6 just added Splice’s AI sample finder

Key Takeaways:

• Splice’s sample library now works directly inside Pro Tools 2025.6, so you don’t have to switch between apps
• The AI “Search with Sound” feature matches samples to your existing audio by analyzing rhythm, key, and tempo
• Pro Tools users get 2,500 free samples, with full access available through a $12.99 monthly subscription

Music producers finally got what they’ve been asking for: Splice samples directly inside Pro Tools. The integration launched with Pro Tools 2025.6 in June 2025, putting millions of loops, one-shots, and sound effects right in the DAW where producers actually work. No more jumping between apps, downloading files, or breaking your creative flow to hunt for the right sample.

The setup of Splice in Pro Tools is straightforward. When you install Pro Tools 2025.6, Splice integration comes automatically. You’ll find it in the Clip List view, sitting right next to your regular clips tab. After connecting your Splice account with a quick login process, you’re ready to browse millions of samples without leaving your session.

Pro Tools subscribers gain access to 2,500 free samples, with premium content available through monthly subscriptions. The standout feature leverages Splice’s AI-powered “Search with Sound” technology, allowing producers to drag audio clips from their timeline to automatically match samples by rhythm, key, and tempo. “Putting Splice directly into the creative workflow is core to our mission,” said Kenny Ochoa, Splice SVP of Content.

Instead of forcing producers to adapt their workflow to different apps, companies are bringing tools directly into the creative environment. Similar to how AI sample finder tools like Output’s Co-Producer analyze project context to suggest compatible samples, Splice’s Pro Tools integration keeps everything in one place while using smart technology to speed up sample discovery.

This partnership reflects broader industry consolidation, following Splice’s $50 million Spitfire Audio acquisition and Avid’s $1.4 billion buyout by Symphony Technology Group in 2023. With Splice reporting nearly 350 million sample pack downloads in 2024, the integration positions both companies to capture more of the $4.3 billion music production software market.
