Changes to your SoundQ experience
On October 1, 2024 the SoundQ subscription service will be discontinued as we prepare for changes to the PSE platform. This will only affect access to the SoundQ Free and Subscriber libraries.
SoundQ will still serve as your free, local databasing tool and one of the cloud access points to all your PSE sounds. We are just detaching the library subscription aspect from the “SoundQ” name so the software experience can keep on being awesome, whether or not you buy or subscribe to PSE sound libraries.What this means for Subscribers:
- Payments: Starting on September 12, 2024, we're discontinuing all new payments for SoundQ subscriptions, so your most recent payment will be the final one, and no further charges will be made.
- Sound Effects Access: Current SoundQ subscribers now have a complimentary, lifetime access to the Hybrid Library ($1,999 value). This go-to general library includes all of the sound effects from your SoundQ subscription, plus an additional 10,000 files. In SoundQ, you can access the Hybrid Library under My Collections > Purchases. You can now also access this (and other purchased libraries) via the PSE website. If you have any questions about accessing this, please submit a support ticket here.
- You still have complete access to the SoundQ software, and your sound effects experience should be virtually unchanged - except you now have even more sounds and ways to access them; forever. With no more subscription charges.

Music Access: SoundQ will no longer offer music access for individual users after October 1, 2024. We recommend finding an alternative - feel free to reach out to our Support team for music library recommendations. Moving forward, we’re focused on providing the best possible experience for our software and sound effects libraries.
- Credits: Your existing credits, library, and individual sound purchases will remain unchanged.
What this means for Free Plan users:
- Your access to the software will not be changed - you can keep using it for free, including access to your purchased sounds, libraries, and existing credits.
- Sound Effects Access: You can still use SoundQ to access the SoundQ Free Sound Effects Library. On October 1, 2024 this will be renamed to the PSE Free Library.
- Music Access: SoundQ will no longer offer music access for individual users after October 1, 2024. We recommend finding an alternative - feel free to reach out to our Support team for music library recommendations. Moving forward, we’re focused on providing the best possible experience for our software and sound effects libraries.
SoundQ will continue to improve
Even with these changes, the SoundQ software isn’t going anywhere. We’re committed to making SoundQ the best it can be and are constantly working on new features and improvements.
