Loader FAQ:

• Is the Loader meant to replace the web store? No, the Loader is primarily a download and management tool, built to make it as easy as possible for you to get your independent sound effects libraries. You can however browse the A Sound Effect catalog in there as well, and find libraries to buy. It’s a functionality we’ll gradually expand, but for now, that functionality is quite basic.

• Why won’t the Loader recognize my existing A Sound Effect purchases stored on my local drive? This feature is not fully implemented yet, but we’re working on it!

• A library that I’ve purchased on A Sound Effect is missing from the Loader – where do I find it? Some older releases have not been added yet – but you can contact us here and let us know what you’re missing and we’ll investigate

• I’ve spotted a bug, need help, or have an idea for a feature – how do I send it to you? Please submit any feedback you have here
