Q. Will your drum loops work in my software?
A. That depends on what software you are using.
WAV files tend to be the most compatible file
type for almost all audio applications but
we encourage you to download some of our free
demo files before deciding to purchase a download
pack. The free demo loops are available by
clicking on the "Listen" button
on all of the pack listings. This will take
you to a page which contains the free demo
loops and also offers more information about
the download pack.

Q. Do your drum loop files contain a tempo reference?
A. Yes. Each file name contains the optimum
tempo of the loop, such as "swing120_hat_kick1".
The 120 indicates the optimum tempo, however
most modern sequencing packages will allow
you to stretch and manipulate the sound in
order to reach your desired tempo within reasonable
limits.

Q. Are your drum loops Acidized?
A. Yes. All of our WAV file drum loops contain the beat count
for Acid, however our files will still work
with other audio sequencers that don't use
the ACID format. Our WAV files are simply
standard WAV files that contain additional
information for users of Acid. The AIF and
Rex2 formats that come with your purchase
do not contain any information for Acid.

Q. How do I buy your drum loops?
A. Simply find a suitable
genre in the "Drum Loop Genres"
menu on the left and choose the download pack
that is most suitable for you. We offer free
demo loops for each pack so that you can try
"before you buy". When you have
decided which pack you wish to buy simply
click on the "Buy" button for that
pack and it will be added to your shopping
cart.
At this point you can either
complete the payment process or continue shopping
for more drum loop packs.
When you are ready to checkout
just click on the "Checkout" button
in your shopping cart and follow the process
for making payment. The final stage allows
you to pay with your credit card using a secure
payment form. Paypal users can also pay securely
using their Paypal account funds.
After you have completed
payment you must click on the link that takes
you back to our site in order for our shopping
cart system to generate your download key.
This will be emailed to the email address
you used for your transaction.

Q. Will my transaction be secure?
A. We offer two secure methods of payment. Both Worldpay and
Paypal are recognized leaders in E-commerce.
At the point where you actually enter your
credit card details you will notice that you
are on a secure https server. You should look
for a small padlock icon at the bottom right
of your browser which indicates that you have
a secure and encrypted connection to the payment
form.

Q. Will I be re-billed?
A. No. You will not be re-billed. Every time you purchase
a download pack from us you are makeing a
one-off payment for the product you are ordering.

Q. Can I use you drum loops in my commercialy
released music productions?
A. Yes. All of the download
packs that we sell are 100% royalty free.
This means that if you were to purchase any
of our download packs and then use those loops
in your own songs you would then be able to
sell your songs for profit and never have
to pay us another penny.
You could
release an album of songs using the loops
and samples you purchased from us with no
limit on the amount of albums you wanted to
duplicate or sell.

Q. I used to be a member
of Breakbeats Only - what's new?
A. Much of what we offer is from the best
of the Breakbeats Only back catalog, however
we have added new material since 2006. If
you were previously a member of Breakbeats
Only please ensure that you do not already
have the loops you are about to purchase.
