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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
