Are they reliable? Anyone ordered from them?

Reason why I ask, is because I've ordered the whole set from them almost a week ago, but they still haven't send me a link yet. Well. Maybe I'm getting a bit nervous a little too early (one day left) - they actually said in the ordering details it _could_ take up to one week for the delivery of codes and stuff.

But reason why I'm getting a bit jumpy, is I've just noticed their web haven't been updated for one year, and I didn't get any reply for another matter I wrote them.

The samples sounds good and are quite cheap as well.

Audiopervert doesn't reply to any mails at all.

I've repeatedly tried to contact them from their get-in-touch-form or the mailaddress that were supplied via Paypal. If anyone have an alternative address to this Nicholas Kinloch, I would be very happy.

Now I've tried everything - apart from going to Paypal and complain. Anyone done this? Is it possible to get the money back?

It sorted out. He was away and didn't check his mail.
I got the samples (and he even refunded half of the payment).

That was generous of him. I've considered those samples for a while, but also wondered if they had been abandoned. Let us know what you think about the quality.

I agree. I must admit I was a bit put off after waiting so long, but that have more to do with not getting the weird Atari and MicroModular bleeps and bloops, than the prospect of possibly have lost the money.

Give me a few days and I will tell you more about them.

shamann - now I've been using the samples for some time now and I'd be glad to share some of of impressions.

First of all - the quality is very good indeed. We are of course talking about 16 bit samples, but for me that is definately not an issue. The samples have been edited very precise. I haven't felt one single time I would need to open my audio editor, to fix anything.
Secondly - with every kit there is an HTML file showing how AP would set up the samples for each kit. If you follow the mapping, it's a joy to create drumloops with the kits. I have been setting up the samples for my MPC and just the possibility to change drumkit and all the hits are playing right is... well, pure inspiration for me. That way I come up with rhythms and sounds I wouldn't normally create. Sounds inspire me to make loops in a certain way, and when changing kit - new ideas appear. Easy and effective.

The only bad thing I can say about the samples is that the names of the actual samples, and the names in the mapping HTML file, doesn't always match. Usually they do, but a few times, I had to figure out it myself. But not a big deal really.

Thanks for the info. Very helpful to know.
