Great course from start to finish Great instructor with a wealth of experience and helpful in breaking down the music making process, and getting through everything step by step. Also brought in other industry mentors. Amazing course.

Life Changing Experience... This was honestly a life changing course. Even for someone like me with no prior experience other than having scraps of songs in my voice notes. I learned so much from songwriting to mastering and everything in between. The most fundamental form of wealth is the human mind. To be able to have access to and learn from a wealthy mindset such as ill Factor's is priceless. ill Factor is an excellent teacher, patient, always inspiring, highly knowledgable, and highly skilled in his craft. I learned so much from hearing people with great talent and seeing how people earlier in their journey grew. I feel like I'm Batman now, equipped with a utility belt, bat jet, bat mobile, and bat cave. ill Factor and everyone here with their wealthy mindsets was like swimming around Scrooge McDuck's money bin for three months. In other words I in turn became enriched by learning from all these wealthy minds. I learned things I wouldn't have been able to learn myself because I didn't have their insights, knowledge, or experience. I'm very excited indeed for my continued journey.

I love Beat Academy I love Beat Academy! The community is constantly growing and learning how to serve each other better. There are always new breakdowns, challenges, and the membership is genuinely engaged in trying to support each other. The community is well moderated and sets values of respect, encouragement, trust, and growth. 10/10 community and content.

Why I have stuck with Beat Academy I had looked at some other music websites before and they were good, but I didn't hang with them. I came across Beat academy through a web search, signed up and have stuck with it since. Ivan is a very competent producer and a great teacher to go with it. I love his monthly song critique meets on line. whether your song or others are critiqued, I always learn a lot stuff I can be aware of and take to my own music. Ivan is passionate about what he does, loves encouraging people and is never disrespectful to any one. He is also honest and holds you to industry standards. the community is great to hang out with and is another source to encourage and receive encouragement from peers. B.A also provides opportunities to take on projects, collaborations and some professional opportunities. I could go on, but I don't want to write a novel. I would point any one who is serious about music production to sign up to Beat Academy.

Quality degraded compared to before Used to be great but now it's just a money making business. The subscription is 5 times more expensive than before, the platform itself (updated) is horrible compared to the forum it was based on before where you could really collaborate and communicate with artists in a simple and creative way. There's the content and video tutorials created by the founder IllFactor that are useful and all, but not really worth 500$ / year. Better save the money and invest in buying gear and tools to make music.
