In order to utilize the full Splice experience, we recommend having an active internet connection. However, you can still use the Splice Desktop App while offline with the samples you've already downloaded to your device.
How can I use offline mode?
If you open the Splice app without an active internet connection, or lose your connection while in the middle of a session, it will automatically default to offline mode.
However, if you have a slow internet connection and want the convenience of going offline, we also offer the option to switch to offline mode at any time in Preferences:
What can I do while I'm offline?
As long as you have downloaded the samples in your library to your local device, you can do the following:
Preview samples
Drag and drop samples into your DAW
Copy samples to clipboard and paste into DAW
Use filters to search your library
Audition and modify downloaded samples with Bridge
