A Splice Studio alternative, built for Ableton.

Splice Studio shut down in 2023 and took project sharing with it. Seedbed picks up where it left off: share an idea, let someone build on it, or work on it together live inside Ableton Live.

1.1.1Sharing

Share the project, not a zip file.

Post an idea as a seed and its stems come with it. Collaborators open it straight in Live, in Audiotool, or in the browser.

Work at the same time.

Splice Studio was about passing versions back and forth. Seedbed adds live jams: everyone in one Set, with tempo, clips and tracks syncing as you go.

Every version keeps its history.

Remixes branch off the seed they came from, credited to whoever made them, so you can see how an idea grew.
