Yooooooooooooooooooooo
What’s good fam, been a crazy week for me but I def wanted to drop ya some Big Fish for the weekend!
Today I’m checking out one of their download packs called Licia Keyz, it’s got 10 kits in it all focused around keys and piano mainly
So let’s see!
What is Licia Keyz?
It’s a construction loop library inspired by the works of the great Alicia Keys.
At first I thought it was going to be a bunch of pianos…
which would be dope, but it’s construction kits so you also got drums, synths, guitars, bass, etc.
The aim of these are RnB, Soul and Hip Hop/Urban music.
Quick Specs:
- content: 836MB
- format:Wav, Rex
- price: $29.95
How does it sound?
It’s definitely got some nice key and piano riffs in here and the recording is great quality.
The loops are long so there is plenty in here to chop up and mess with
It’s not a huge library but covers the bases pretty well considering there are only 10 kits here.
Wish there were some more snares to chop up seems to be heavy on the claps but that’s cool guess it fits the RnB/Soul style of the library.
Some of the loops lean a bit towards the Pop side of things, which it seems everything does these days but there’s plenty of that smooth keyboard work in here to keep ya happy
So what’s the bottom line?
You know me fam, when it comes to construction kits I just treat them as collections of loops.
Not really a construction kit fan but sound is sound so I treat it as such. In that regard this is a nice little collection of sounds, especially the piano, rhodes, and guitar samples.
There’s enough variety to keep it useful while it stays true to that urban/soul sound.
I give this library 4 out of 5 subs, very solid and useful library without having to break the bank

let me know what you think, leave me a comment below
sounds like its decent value for the dollar. some nice melodies. great video as always Joe.
@flux302, thanks bro, you know how I like to treat these, like crates lol. Thanks for watching man.
I like the sounds, I am just always weary of using construction kits to make music. I feel that it isn’t really my music.
@Jayson, Do you use any samples at all? Or do you play every instrument yourself? I use whatever sounds let me get the ideas in my head down, period lol.
yo what up man where have you been it sounds dope and for the price not too shabby
@Mehdo, sup fam, been pretty busy this week, but things are calming down so I got more coming, thanks for checking as always.
nice tite loops definately a good look
@Vigalanti of The Bridge, word fam, thanks for checking
I brought this kit about 2 months ago. This construction kit is produced by Big Citi Loops. They make some really good kits. You can pick this one up at producerloops.com for $19.95. Good review as always. Keep up the good work….
@Ervin Pegues, word fam, thanks for the feedback it’s appreciated.
You can get this now at FatLoopShop.com use the the code: easter50 get it half off. So from $26.53 down to $13.26. Hurry cause this won’t last long.
@Mean Gene, fatloopshop doesn’t sell big citi loops label you must be thinking of something else.
You’re right I got this confused with the Fat Key Vibes from fat loud. definitely my bad on this.
@Mean Gene, fat key vibes is dope, all keys, not construction kits, good stuff
@Saint Joe, yea I’m really feeling this kit. I lucked up on this one.
this one sounds a lot better than i thought it would ..i might have to get this one. thanks for the review!
@Mike, yeah, it was pretty cool, nice style for sure.
Nice Kit, Like What You Did With It.
@Dontavion, no doubt fam, thanks for watching
Definitely sounds good…would’ve been nice if the instruments were more broken down into folders so I could just take a sound I like and run’em across my midi pad,don’t wanna have to chop it all up.Gotta admit, I did’nt expect it to sound as lush as it did though. Great demo as usual St.Joe…keep it goin brah
@Klford, yeah, being loops you always gonna have to chop, what I usually do is separate everything into my own folders by sound, so all bass, keys, strings, synth, etc. That way it’s easier to find what I want to chop.
Sounds Dope And For That Price . I Agree With Mike Might Have To Cop This
@jamilci, word fam, thanks for checking, def a good price.
dope man…god bless you
@unqlaur, thanks for watching, appreciate the feedback.
Sounds interesting. I can probably use some of the sounds from there. Really like the drums. Price ain’t bad either.
@Madbull Studios, word man, few good sounds for the price, definitely some stuff in there worth chopping, like you said, even some nice drums to chop up and make some kits.
Man I like the guitar lick you were missing with that joint was pretty fresh sounding. I’m a get this kit if just for that one guitar loop. I love put a guitar lick in my tracks but i don’t play guitar, I can’t always afford a work for hire and a keyboard with a patch guitar sound doesn’t always cut it. So i’m always looking for fresh guitar loops.
@Pat of Jammdat Music, I hear ya! Nothing like a good guitar lick, they have some dedicated guitar libraries man, you should def check them out.
i gots to have it..thanx homie.
@sky, thanks for checking it fam
Man, I keep buying small stuff like this – love rummaging through these and seeing what I can come up with. Great practice material for Maschine…
…but…
…I gotta stop buying em for a while! lol. I really want Omnisphere to compliment Komplete 7 so this will have to be bookmarked for later 🙂 Before you know it you’ve spend a few hundred bucks on stuff like this so I gotta be disciplined lol
@Jon, yep, lil libraries like these can def contain a few gems here and there, I feel if I can find one to 4 things I can build a song off of I’m good. Plus I can always chop up the drums for new kits.
