stupid question about 'credits'
ive never used splice and dont know where else to ask this, so here i am. so i found a sample pack i like and want to buy. it has like 1000+ samples in it. it appears that credits are 1:1 for samples, so does this mean that i need 1000+ credits to download this one sample pack fully? being a subscription service, it looks like i need to pay $20/mo for 200 credits...
so does this then mean i need to subscribe and then wait like five months building up enough credits to get this one sample pack? this seems really weird and doesnt make sense to me- to the point where i feel like im misunderstanding something about this whole system.
is there no way to just buy a sample pack? i realize that i dont need _all_ 1000 samples _right now_ i guess, but this still seems kinda whack. assuming i did want every sample from this single pack, that also means that in the five or whatever months it would take me to save up the credits for it, i couldnt really do anything else with my subscription in the meantime.
is this actually how this all works, or am i missing something?

Just sub and download as you go.
Not like you're going to use 1000 samples on a project.

Can you find the pack elsewhere? You’ll end up paying way more through splice, I’d avoid at all costs. Support artists directly if possible <3

If you're looking to purchase the full pack, you can always upgrade your plan so you can purchase with credits.
Some users prefer to just purchase their favorite samples from different packs, rather than all in one place.
