THE SOUND OF

Indie & Singer-Songwriter

Intimate, honest, and stripped to the bone. Acoustic guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, and vocals that feel like a conversation — the sound of today's best songwriting, unfiltered.

Recorded with session players who bring singer-songwriter sensibility to every take. Real acoustic instruments in real rooms — no processing, no pretense, just performance.

Quirky Guitars Vol.1 Indie Folk Sample Pack

Normal guitars play normal notes. These don't. An acoustic tuned up a full octave until it sounds like a music box made of wood. A banjo fingerpicked so gently it barely whispers. Mandolin through vintage tremolo. Glockenspiel and bells woven between the strings. Eccentric, playful, and built to make the ordinary sound strange.

Fun, Funky & Quirky

There are a lot of content and kits here and I’m once again impressed by the quality of the recording. This library is aptly named because it contains so many fun, funky, and yes “quirky” instrument sounds. It inspired me to get creative and get out of my comfort zone, and I’m glad I did. I love the result.

The Story

Normal guitars play normal notes. Quirky guitars play upside down and inside out. Take an acoustic guitar and tune it up a full octave — now it sounds like a music box made of wood. Take a banjo and fingerpick it so gently it barely whispers. Put a mandolin through a vintage tremolo unit and suddenly it's from a 1960s spy film you've never seen. Add a glockenspiel, some bells, and a hand-cranked music box, and you've entered a world where every instrument sounds like it was found in an attic and nobody knows how to play it properly — which is exactly why it sounds so good.

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.
