Demo videos and swishy UI interactions are polished
From 3 comments
I simply love those video demos. Great presentation! Gives me high hopes for the quality of sound files. Purchased immediately.
TheSisb2 on HNSeconded; I think the swishy UI interactions and the sound effects are perfect for each other. There's nothing worse than a terrible site hiding a great product, but you guys…
ryanthejuggler on HNVery slick. I would definitely use this if I had a need for it beyond changing the default notifications on my phone/desktop. One suggestion, I think the those little 'devices'…

Good value and useful for small hobby projects

Requests
Per-project or multi-user license option
From 3 comments
A question for the group here, would a per project license be preferred over a per user license?
iambrakes on HNI'd strongly prefer per-user, but maybe you could allow the choice at time of purchase?
rileyjshaw on HNPer project licensing seems pretty fair to me.

Spearchucker on HNI was about to buy, but the sound of Bongo Beat Down cuts off too quickly. How can I be sure that I'm getting quality sound effects out of the set 300?
