Big Bad Horns Vol.1

THE SOUND OF

Big Band, Swing & Jazz Funk.

Big Bad Horns Vol.1

The sound of a real horn section walking into your track and taking over. Screaming trumpets, punching trombones, and saxes that swing so hard the rhythm section has to chase them. Big band energy at full combustion.

Big Bad Horns Vol.2

THE SOUND OF

Big Band, Swing & Soul Jazz.

Big Bad Horns Vol.2

Everything that made Vol.1 hit — and then more funk, more latin, and solo horn performances that let individual players stretch out and show off. Brass that dares the rest of the arrangement to keep up. Wider. Louder. Harder to contain.

THE SOUND OF

Big Band, Swing & Soul Jazz

The smoky elegance of a late-night jazz club. Screaming brass sections, swinging drums, and the unmistakable groove that only live horn players can deliver.

Captured with jazz club veterans and brass masters — sax, trumpet, and trombone sections recorded together in the same room to preserve the interplay and swing.

Bold - Pure - Live-Played… Outstanding

The Gold Bundle is packed with live trumpet, trombone, sax, tuba, clarinet, piano, and amazing vocals. The musicians are crazy talented. The sounds are crystal clear and beautiful. It’s a pleasure to use these samples in my projects. Much of the time, I don’t have time or the instruments needed to create my own sounds, especially for this genre, this bundle came to the rescue when I was in a pinch.

Once I got a taste of We Sound Human brass band stuff, I HAD to have it all! Talk about bold, pure sounds with so much soul. The samples are so easy to mix because they’re all recorded so clearly. I can’t begin to think about the amount of time and money it would take to produce sounds like these for myself. The possibilities are endless with this bundle. I promise you will love it!

QUESTIONS

FAQ

Are these sounds royalty-free, and can I use them commercially?

Yes — 100% royalty-free, forever. Use the sounds in songs, albums, sync placements, film, TV, ads, client work, podcasts, and commercial releases. No attribution required, no per-use fees, and you keep full ownership of your finished work. Once you buy, you're free to create and release.

What formats are included with my purchase?

Every purchase includes all available formats, bundled for one price — no edition to choose at checkout. You get DAW-Ready Sessions (pre-formatted, ready-to-open sessions for supported DAWs), Multi-Format audio (WAV, for drag-and-drop into any DAW), Apple Loops, and REX and — on most libraries — a Kontakt Engine Edition. You get everything.

Do I need Kontakt to use this library?

No. Kontakt is completely optional. All libraries include standard WAV files that work in any DAW without additional software. If a Kontakt Engine version is included, it requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt (5.6.5 or higher) and will not run in the free Kontakt Player.

Will this work in my DAW?

Yes. All We Sound Human products work in every major DAW using standard audio files.

This includes Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, GarageBand, Reaper, and more.

If your DAW can play audio, these sounds will work.

Are these playable instruments, or can I play them on a MIDI keyboard?

These are performance-based loops and phrases played by real musicians — not multi-sampled instruments where you play individual notes. The Kontakt Engine Edition is phrase-based: you arrange and edit authentic recorded performances rather than playing free melodies or chords from a MIDI keyboard. If you're after a playable instrument for live improvisation, these libraries aren't built for that.

What if the library doesn’t fit my project?

We want you creating with sounds you love. If you're not happy with your purchase within 30 days, install it, give it a try, then reach out — we'll help you find a library that better fits, or issue a full refund.

How do downloads and future access work?

After purchase, your libraries are added to your secure We Sound Human account.

You can download them anytime, from anywhere, whenever you need them.

If formats are expanded or updated in the future, you’ll retain access to the versions included with your purchase.

Will my music sound like everyone else using the same pack?

No — and this is one of the biggest reasons our libraries are built the way they are.

Our products include full performances, multiple song sections, variations, alternates, and stems so you can arrange, edit, and process the sounds in your own way.

The goal isn’t to loop the same 8 bars — it’s to help you build tracks that feel human, dynamic, and uniquely yours.
