Frequently Asked Questions
Is the background music included in the sound packs?

Digital purchases cannot be returned. Therefore we cannot provide a refund. Refunds are only available in exceptional scenarios, such as your Paypal account was illegally charged (fraud).
In which formats are your products available?

As for the channels, we deliver mono or stereo depending on the product and its options. The details are visible on each product page.
What currency are the prices shown in?
All Rescopic Sound products are shown in dollars US.
What about metadata?
All our files are embedding metadata of these types: BaseHead (iXML, bext, ID3) / BWAV.
All our libraries are UCS-compliant too (learn more about UCS here).
We aim to fill in as much information as possible and accurately within the files. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you feel metadata is not rightly entered. We always strive to improve our libraries.
The software we use is BaseHead Ultra Edition, and we meticulously burn in our metadata to be fully compatible with Soundminer and Soundly.
Additionally, we add a file list to each of our libraries (in pdf, txt & csv format) so you can import it into your preferred audio management app.
Do you have a special deal or discount for me?
From time to time, we run special sale events. For example, during Halloween and summer, but these are rare.
Each new library launch has its own introductory sale that runs from 48 hours to 9 days.
You can follow our social media pages or register for our newsletter to get the latest news and deals!

Sure! But if more than three users per workstation are using the sound library, a multi-user license is required. Please get in touch with us for more details.
Do you store my credit card information?
Nope, we wouldn't do it anyway, and we cannot store your credit card info because we can never access it. All purchases are made through Paypal's secure payment gateway.
I haven't received any email after the purchase, why?
if you have not received an email :
- Maybe the email has landed in your spam. Take a look inside your spam folder.
- Maybe the order is still on hold while the payment is being processed. Wait a few minutes.
- Maybe the payment has been rejected. In this case, you should have received a Paypal notice that your payment has been rejected. Verify if all your payment information is correct and try the order again.
- In any case, you can contact us and we will find a solution as soon as possible.
How do I extract the files I downloaded?
All the files provided by Rescopic Sound are packed within .zip files.
To extract the files from the archive, you need to unzip them.
For this purpose, it exists a lot of software. We recommend using 7zip (on Windows) and The Unarchiver (on Mac).
