S/o to Dua Lipa's producer Ian Kirkpatrick.. always giving Oliver his flowers in every Twitch stream 🐐🐐

[@TheChiversBeatCompany]

Yeah Ian as never been secretive about his drum process sharing all the best tips and fav sample packs. Such an inspiration 🔥

[@nickthechen]

3:44 - Great tip on layering the clap before the snare! Can't wait to dig into Vol. 3

[@ahbe9232]

Oliver really has the best drums for pop, unmatched 🔥

[@the_devilboy666]

Would kill for new Oliver production. Still listen to Kim Petras and hard drive waste because it’s the latest. Appreciate these packs, sound quality is unmatched

[@TheFlava07]

Same as you

[@Aileron90]

Great job vaughn, you really have gained confidence in talking on camera and producing infront of us, i know that was one of your goals from the start and it shows.

[@gnuwaves743]

I feel like I'm in a multi million dollar studio when I use his samples/presets.

[@jaunty_tunes]

This is really slick. Thanks for making these videos. It's always really thrilling to me to hear Splice samples used by big artists or even small artists.

[@SokornTouch]

Great samples packs. Oliver is a GOAT!

[@SleepyNumbat]

Cool breakdown. Thanks for the video.

[@mysterymachine2963]

Oliver’s sample packs are some of my faves. Underrated producer

[@TheChiversBeatCompany]

Oliver's, KSHMR AND Goldbaby 🙏🏼🔥

[@GonnyParson]

Loops sucks. Always the same melodies with reverb. I only like the drums

[@mickharrison90]

Ahhhh I love this pack, especially the drums

[@JohnT]

0:14 "I'm just oliver the map" ! Awesome pack !!

[@thegeenius]

became a fan when i discovered the 2nd & 1st,, been waitin' for This one,, the work put in,, - the sonics,, & plain ol Solid capturing of the authentic sounds and loops of that era,, (which i'm proud to say i'm from)-,, thank you sir, thank you splice!,, i remain a devoted fan,, --

[@barryzito5721]

Guilty. I used that loop it in my recent release too. Glad I’m not alone!

[@JodiMusicOfficial]

Best packs on Splice, hands down!

[@LibraryCake]

one of the greatest

[@oscaryuan_]

Legend!

[@Mizukitron]

By a considerable distance one of the best set of packs out there - I have never needed something involving drums, consulted Power Tools and walked away empty handed, just superb.

[@joshmaddox9]

Another shoutout to Oliver as Kygo’s ‘Higher Love’ and ‘Like It Is’ also use the Oliver 110 Hi Hat loop in the drop.

[@sebastianvillalba3335]

The best!

[@amulpatel]

The GOAT!! Please bring back the Italo!!

[@mutrontwo8322]

you da man vaughn

[@DEAFKEV]

great vid, insane knowledge being dropped :O

[@MrBootsauceTV]

Super proud of this dude. He deserves all the praise. All of his packs are top notch and it’s no surprise to hear them on huge records. Congrats Vaughn! ❤️

[@mysterioustwigdude]

Best drums hands down\

[@hellohello-rd1vr]

Followed Oliver for a decade loved their unique approach making stuff sound so authentically disco. Spent years trying to get to that level. Now that it’s available for any producer I feel like the art to getting that sound is gone. The fact that it’s so accessible now means what made Oliver unique is no longer unique. But he could cash in on it so why not? Perhaps I’d do the same. No one at fault just the process of the world and evolution. Can’t say I’m happy with my favorite unique producer swag becoming the most common sound ever now but hey…it’s forced me to get some new influences I guess.

[@orphicstudiotraphiphopbeat9711]

Bam !!!!

[@guvnabeatz9884]

The pro makes it happen on the M-Audio Axiom too. Goes to show it's the skill, not the tool.

[@bad_ancemusic8492]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thegoatriderfromthesands2646]

Not the only ones in the pack, Estelles American Boy, MadCons Don't Worry and Neikeds Better Days

[@lacetera100]

Amazing samples!

[@TheBlashMusic]

Amazing pack. Ryland killed it with his contributions to the pack as well 🔥

[@Revoic]

Yup, I have some loops used too

[@savceman36]

Fredo bang-Top, the main guitar is from Power tools as well

[@benja303]

Making Loops: - Keeping it simple - "ready"

The goat!!! : )

[@dflamebeats]

Awesome pack! By the way? What's the background music sounding from 05:08?

[@deistormmods]

An unreleased track he made on stream!

[@lobosalvaje1998]

I think espectador by Relax Demodé

[@HubaKelemen]

This guy rocks!

[@tian_obia]

Legendary pack somehow it managed to top the first 2

[@tommyfreudenthal8084]

🤤

[@LOGTomas]

Does someone have the exact reference of the drums loop used in JT/SZA - The Other Side?

[@Hogboy345]

1:10

[@LOGTomas]

@@Hogboy345 Thanks

[@aaronbazil]

With so many great sounds and loops, the only thing modern artists have to do is the songwriting itself: lyrics and good vocal. The rest, if you're really lazy, can be copy and paste loops from these incredible packs. And I've heard top hits with kinda copy and paste without changing anything... but they had great songwriting underneath them. That's it! I see the same in the filmmaking world too: a lot of KZbinrs now have ease of access to high-end gear, at an affordable price, but what's still missing is still THE WORD. Great screenwriting. Very few can master the last bit. Those are the ones who make it (not all the time, if we include the politics etc). That's where YOU should spend your time. The writing: songwriting or screenwriting. Heck, even AI will be able to help with that too, soon!

[@88benz]

it’s crazy how many hit songs he has his drums on and he prob doesn’t get a dime more than that splice download for iy

[@pepthelad]

I mean that’s what you agree with when you release a pack on splice

[@Table-Top]

So Doja and Ian Kirlpatrick used the 1st pack... or the 2nd pack?

[@loky5331]

INTRO MUSIC NAME?????

[@neel_t6350]

Oliver's watch is shining brighter than my future 😂

[@atefbelgayed4263]

also deadmau5 ft. Skylar Grey - My Heart Has Teeth

[@usifalekaitae1962]

Bro Oliver looks like Kenny beats 2 tho

[@biontinamallakaj6217]

Don't Start Now by Dua Lipa deserved Record of The Year at the Grammys not Billie's Everything I Wanted

[@bw2937]

What happened to originality?

[@gavinstacey1695]

who is oliver

[@Nuggifresh]

Is it just me or is making everything from scratch the wrong way now ? Lol smh. I appreciate the loops here and there but whole track predominantly loop based just seems crazy to me and borrowed Just my opinion. Respectfully

[@LOGTomas]

Don't understand your point of view. What are the "wrong" and "right" ways?

[@g.hmusicc]

listeners wont give a shit if you made it from scratch or it’s from a loop. if a loop sounds like the idea in your head then why waste time make it from scratch. and if you want to make it from scratch, then idk, do it?? no one’s stopping you lol there’s no “rule” in music. if it sounds good, it sounds good.

[@jonathan8963]

nah i agree. i feel like it takes the personality out of the production. no wrong or right way. but i'd personally prefer to do things from the ground up 🤷🏽‍♂️. i'm not just making music to be serviceable enough to get played, i'm trying to create something that feels like me.

[@evieatarax]

@@jonathan8963 you don't have to reinvent the wheel to be original. everybody borrows something, why not samples and loops? it doesn't make sense for me to buy out studio time and buy a drum kit just to be able to make disco.

[@rashid5271]

i mean your song idea makes the song not the hi hats or drums or some loop , a lot of songs use the same samples but some of them get viral that answers your questions

[@allilve]

yikes

[@bw2937]

Overused.

[@nicholasmarch3286]

i mean... why knock this guy just for hella people using his sound design? he puts out quality sounds

[@stephensoto2126]

I knew doja cat’s producer used splice. Doja cat’s music just feels bland.

[@AntoineDuez]

Boring

[@christdolphin69]

what a hack. whats the point in creating something if youre just piecing together sounds other people made and everyone else is using? sound packs and pre made loops killed art way before AI did

[@AlessiaLabatemusic]

We used it on my song Fvck Nostalgia as well, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaS7qHSgntF5o5o 💘

[@GonnyParson]

I only like the drums. Melodies are nothing special. I don't understand why people don't explore more when make music... Always the same stuff.

[@ankitapandey3703]

Check out MJ's isolated tracks. They're phenomenal. You won't complain
