Amazing training by an amazing coach I gained a lot of knowledge and had a lot of insights. the guidance we received every week was great. Ivan really cares about his students and freely shares the experiences he makes in the music industry. He is a fine producer with a great ear who can point out in a clear and concise way what the problems with a student's composition or mix are. We also had access to his massive library of training normally only available on the 'Ultimate Producer' course—free of charge. His openness and level of sharing are invaluable for someone who wants to make it in the industry. The course is perfect for someone who wants to acquire the knowledge to make it in the industry and be held accountable every week.

Beat Academy Elevate 12 Weeks Music Program The whole Elevate Music Program is Fantastic. I love the fact that there are Weekly Tasks / Live Calls / Catch Ups / Feedback Sessions. Even though each student is at a different level / stage of their Music Production skill-set, journey - the whole program is very beneficial and well put together. I believe that Each student has a unique need - and teacher ill Factor is understanding and really helpful and is accommodating. He genuinely cares about how to take your music to the next step moving forward. His teaching style is awesome and is one of a kind. The professional guest speakers that took part and provided advice / feedback were great too. I Highly Recommend! Trust me on this. Leeyah :-).

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.

Mentorship 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.)

Beat Academy is awesome Beat Academy is awesome! I started as a regular member and went on to the Elevate course. At first I didn't want to invest in myself but my family convinced me to do so and it was worth every single dollar. Ill Factor is an amazing mentor and the guest mentors were great too! My productions really improved to a point that I'm actually considering releasing some songs.
