Create is Splice's DAW for making music, with AI features to help you work faster, learn new skills, and find ideas when you need them. Create's AI is built on content Splice owns or licenses, and when you download a Splice sound or a Variation of it, the original creator gets paid. Most of Create's AI features run through Rheo, the AI collaborator built into Create.
Rheo: your in-DAW assistant
At the center of Create is Rheo, an assistant built directly into the DAW interface. Rather than being just a chatbot, Rheo has full, real-time control over the software:
Natural language DAW control: Add tracks, route sends, adjust faders, pan, and set project tempo or key just by typing or speaking.
Intelligent sound design and mixing: Ask Rheo to EQ out mud, add saturation, dial in reverb decay times, or set up compression based on objective acoustic analysis of your audio.
Workflow teaching (Point): Rheo can guide beginners or producers transitioning from other DAWs step-by-step through the interface.
Context-aware sound matching and discovery
Finding samples that actually work together in context:
Harmonic and rhythmic analysis: When browsing or dropping sounds, Create reads the project's key, scale, and tempo to filter and match compatible samples automatically.
Smart Fill and fit: Loops can automatically conform to section lengths, tempos, and pitch grids without manual warping or repitching headaches.
AI audio processing tools
Transforming raw audio directly on the timeline:
Stem Separation: Powered by neural audio separation models, Stem Separation can split any mixed sample or recording into isolated vocals, drums, bass, and melodic instruments.
Audio-to-MIDI Transcription: Converts audio melodies, basslines, or chord loops into standard MIDI notes, letting producers swap out sounds or edit parts on the piano roll.
Sample Variations: Analyzes existing audio clips and generates rhythmic, melodic, or processing variations while maintaining groove and vibe.
Generative MIDI and pattern creation
Assisting with composition and beat-making:
Drum grooves and patterns: Create genre-specific drum patterns, swing, and velocities inside Drum Racks.
Melodic and bassline writing: Compose chord progressions, basslines, and lead lines tailored to the project's musical key and existing instrumentation.
Humanization and expression: Dynamically adjusts velocity, micro-timing, and dynamics so programmed MIDI sounds natural.
AI as an assistant, not a replacement
Full user control: Everything AI generates lands on standard audio or MIDI tracks with full undo history.
Editing freedom: Every parameter, note, automation lane, and plugin setting remains completely editable by the producer.
