Elevate 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.

Ill Factor's Elevate program was Invaluable! Ill Factor's Elevate program was amazing! Not only did we get access to Ill Factor, but also other industry professionals that he has join. Being able to hear and see that caliber of experience, their mindsets, and approach was invaluable! I'm looking forward to the Elite program next year as well!

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.

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.
