With a Subscription (Personal, Business, or Creator Program Plan), you can download up to 999 tracks per month. Each main track and its variations are counted separately—for example, the MTG Bounce and Battle FULL Loop comes with 7 submixes, so it will be counted as 8 tracks in total. Our download limit ensures a carefully curated, high-quality selection while supporting the artists behind every sound. It maintains a copyright-safe, worry-free experience and encourages intentional creativity, helping you find the perfect sounds for your project.

You can view your download count under 'My Account' > 'Account Details'. The monthly download limit is 999.

A FULL Loop is complete musical mix that is meant to loop over and over again, seamlessly and endlessly. It does not contain an introduction and an ending. Track durations vary and may be as short as 10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes. Learn more about our music mixes.

Your licensed tracks are available for 2 weeks after purchase. If you don’t receive the email, check your Spam or Junk folder. If it's missing after 30 minutes, contact us for assistance.

You can choose to download the files in .wav or .mp3 format. Our .wav files are delivered in stereo (uncompressed lossless audio) in either 44.1Khz or 48kHz and 16-bit or 24-bit.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but our system only allows downloading in one format. Please choose carefully between WAV or MP3. We recommend downloading the highest-quality WAV file, which you can later convert to MP3 or other formats if needed.

To edit the playlist, simply tick the tracks on the 'Checkbox', select the 'Action' you want to do and click 'Proceed'.

No. The "WOW Sound" voiceover is only present in the audio preview on our website and Soundcloud. After you purchase a license, you will be able to download a clean copy. 

We launched our revamped site on a new platform on 8th April 2022, so the accounts and past purchases are not transferable even if you create a new account on our current site :(

But fret not; we have a record of all past purchases. If you need files from your past purchases, simply email us at [email protected] with your email address or the invoice number, and we will send you the files via WeTransfer.

Yes you may, but the copyright still belongs to WOW Sound. As such, copying, redistribution and resale of the modified content is not allowed. 

The watermarked audio you downloaded is provided to help you test and preview how the sound fits within your project during development. However, it cannot be used in any final or publicly released project, even with the watermark.

This allows you to experiment freely while ensuring the final project uses fully licensed, watermark-free audio for the best experience. Once you’re ready, you can purchase the license to get the high-quality version without watermarks. If you have any questions about licensing or need help selecting the right sounds, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to assist!

In this case, it's fine, so don't worry too much about it :)
