My recent experience with Splice support + Ableton integration

I wanted to share my recent experience with Splice support in case others have run into something similar, especially after the Ableton integration.

I’m a long time Ableton user, but new to the Splice integration, and I had what I thought was a very simple, logical question about keeping my libraries organized. Unfortunately, the support flow was extremely difficult to navigate. The AI chat kept disconnecting, looping, and never actually connected me to a live agent even though it said it would. I had to enter my email multiple times while already logged in, and it took me over an hour just to submit that basic question.

When I finally received a response, it felt like another generic macro rather than someone engaging with what I wrote. The agent even clarified that they were very much a live agent, which just highlighted the confusion created by the AI handoff and the repeated copy paste responses I had already received. To be honest, that mismatch between what I wrote and what I got back was the point where I decided to cancel my subscription.

The missing hide or remove option for accidental or unwanted downloaded samples has also been a long standing request from users as I noticed. I was simply trying to stay organized and avoid cluttering my hard drives and projects, especially inside Ableton, and this feels like a pretty essential part of the workflow that is still not addressed.

My intention isn’t to rant, just to share my experience. I genuinely hope future updates improve both the support flow and the UX because the idea behind the integration isn’t bad.

Curious if others have run into the same issues.

I assume you're talking about Splice's Support, right?

Hi, yes, I’m talking about Splice’s support.
I think it’s pretty clear from both the title and the first paragraph, and also from the fact that Ableton doesn’t use any AI chat support system.

Well, then you'r welcome sharing your experience to Ableton Support too, as even though this is a Splice problem Ableton is now somehow impacted.
I'm forwarding on my end too.

sounds like a cautionary tale for organising sound libraries. I used to DJ, and then came along the streaming music services. Not that this killed my DJing, but the mess that it made of my library did me in....
