Note: The Splice integration is only available in Ableton Live 12.3 — now in Beta. To join the beta, follow the steps in Ableton’s Live Beta FAQ
When previewing sounds from the Splice integration in Ableton Live 12.3 (Beta), you can control the preview volume in two different places:
1. Splice’s Built-In Volume Control
Inside the Splice browser panel, you’ll see a vertical volume slider at the bottom left.
Drag this slider up or down to adjust how loud your Splice previews play inside Live.
This control only affects the preview sounds coming directly from Splice.
2. Ableton Live’s Cue/Solo Volume Knob
In the Master track of Ableton Live, look just below the Main Volume fader—you’ll see a small blue knob.
This is the Cue/Solo Volume knob, which controls the level of all pre-listen (cue) sounds, including Splice previews.
Labeling depends on the mode:
If the Master track is set to Solo in Place, the knob is labeled Solo Volume.
If the Master track is set to Cue, the knob is labeled Cue Volume.
You can toggle between these modes with the little Solo/Cue switch next to the knob.
Best Practice
If your previews are too quiet or too loud, start by adjusting the Splice volume slider.
If you still need more control, use Live’s Cue Volume knob for a global adjustment.
This way, you can fine-tune your Splice preview volume without affecting the overall mix volume in your project.
