Hello, my beautiful and lovely Splicers! Just me, Thaumata, popping in with my periodic friendly reminder about what is ok to upload to Splice, and what is NOT ok to upload to Splice. I like to think of the sounds I upload as Legos. (Remember Legos?) They should be little bricks of sound that other people can stick together in different combinations to create big giant creations that are cool and unique. A drum loop or a melody, for example, are great, and you can make these using all kinds of programs.

What is NOT ok to upload here are entire MP3s of your favorite band or rapper. For starters, even though they are fun to listen to, they’re not very easy to remix, and remixing is what brought us all together, right? Right! Most importantly, these songs are almost always copyrighted, which means that you don’t have that person’s permission to put their music here. These things will get deleted from the site, and that will leave a big hole in your song (and the songs that anyone else made with it.) Nobody wants that, so don’t do it, ok?

The best thing you can do if you want to see a certain artist here is to tell that artist! A little peer pressure can go a long way, you know! So, do your part to keep Splice rockin’, and know that your fellow Splicers will love you for it.
