I 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.

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.)

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!
