Spitfire Audio libraries have landed on Splice’s Rent-to-Own platform – and users are loving It

Splice is set to release a collection of Spitfire Audio’s beloved effects and orchestral libraries through its popular Rent-to-Own program.

The music production platform today announced that Spitfire has joined Xfer’s Serum as a Rent-to-Own exclusive on Splice’s plugin marketplace. If you’re new to the program, Rent-to-Own lets users “lease” cutting-edge and industry-standard music creation software, meaning you can pay as you go until you own the plugin outright.

Creators will get immediate access to the full versions of each library with interest-free monthly payments. And once the plan is complete, the licenses are theirs to keep forever, even when your Splice subscription ends.

The libraries immediately coming to RTO are as follows, with more promised further down the line:

• BBC Symphony Orchestra Professional – A richly nuanced strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion from the BBC’s world-renowned symphonic ensemble
• Abbey Road Two: Iconic Strings Pro – The most famous string sound in the world from Abbey Road’s legendary Studio Two
• BBC Radiophonic Workshop – Historic electronic sounds from the pioneers of sound design
• Eric Whitacre Choir (available 14 August, 2025) – Ethereal choral performances led by GRAMMY-winning composer Eric Whitacre
• AIR Studios Reverb (available 14 August, 2025) – Cinematic reverb captured in the hall that scored Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Wicked

Featured in the likes of Dune, The Color Purple, and Inception, Call of Duty, and Bridgerton, these plugins are often praised for their depth, texture, and realism. This collaboration also marks the first joint offering since Splice acquired Spitfire Audio earlier this year.

“Rent-to-Own is one of the most beloved aspects of Splice and we’re honored to bring these iconic Spitfire Audio products to our marketplace,” says Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava. “These libraries and effects have shaped some of the most memorable scores in modern films and games and now Splice users can bring that same emotive power to their own work.”

Paul Thomson, Co-Founder of Spitfire Audio, adds, “This is something we’ve been asked about over the years, and we now have the technological capability to offer this path to ownership. It has been no small feat to make our libraries available via rent-to-own and we look forward to hearing more music made from people using these tools.”

The move has proved popular among users as well, with one praising it as a “great way for even more people to access these great libraries and begin creating sooner”.

“Best decision ever to have happened, as compared to the whole subscription nonsense,” another user commented.

During your lease, you must have the latest version of the Splice Desktop App installed and open at least once every three days. All Spitfire Audio plugins on Splice also come with a free 3-day trial if you’d like to have a taste before committing.
