CAElevate Program Elevate was a game-changer for my music overall! Before starting, I had no idea where I was going when it came to music production, I was unaware of what areas needed improvement, I just knew something didn't sound right. After Elevate, I now have the tools to finish song ideas and know how to address issues I am hearing in my productions! I have full confidence to make and release music now, not only have I learned a lot of music production skills, but this program also helped shift my mindset.

GBI really enjoyed this Program I really enjoyed this Program. Some of my huge take aways was to build relationships with people that like creating music like me and how important the Motif is to music. The things I would have like to have seen; that everyones music put into the DAW so we can solo the songs and hear the difference and make adjustments (like oh wow I like how this person kick or bass sounds etc; this would have been definitely helpful during mastering week) even though we got all of our songs reviewed, comparing the ‘sonics’ and others song choices a little closer would have been more efficient and effective. I believe one of the things that the music community ‘as a whole’ is missing is “yeah everyone can hear what plugin or vst that pro is using, but the sound selection and sonic comprehension is just as important” and that should have been the main driving point because how sounds are sitting and moving inside the speakers are what drives people to listen.

GBMentorship Program Was My Key I decided tot join The Mentorship program in Jan 2024 and it was just what i needed. I am really spending my bottom dollar on it too, and I'm still happy I am doing it. That said, I don't think it's for everyone... It still takes lots of work. I'd say this is like a top knotch gym and personal trainer to meet with weekly. The program gives all the tools and support serious producers need to train well, whether that's granular production tips or a helping hand over psychological hurdles. It may be expensive but that means the class size is small and help is direct. A personal trainer teaching a group of ten is likely to get to personally know each group member individually and offer specific advice in an much more effective way. I can't put too much emphasis on how much value is here for the right people. The energy, the support, and the knowledge have been so helpful to me and my music. This program is like a speciality shop with the owner in the store all the time, and a select group of like-minded, dedicated people you can work with, get help from, and feed off each others' passion. Monumental. (Orig: ill (and his team) are amazing. They're knowledgeable with really good systems for learning. Best of all, they're phenomenal people. They're easy to talk to, fun, and understanding. Any problems are easily talked about. I'd highly recommend.)

NZWhy 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.

CAExcellent Decision - Everything I Need To Keep Pushing Me. I really appreciate Beat Academy and the community. The instruction is excellent and having a community to bounce thoughts and questions off of is really great. Additionally the challenges constantly give me something to strive for. Really happy to be part of this community.
