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.

Great course from start to finish Great instructor with a wealth of experience and helpful in breaking down the music making process, and getting through everything step by step. Also brought in other industry mentors. Amazing course.

I love Beat Academy I love Beat Academy! The community is constantly growing and learning how to serve each other better. There are always new breakdowns, challenges, and the membership is genuinely engaged in trying to support each other. The community is well moderated and sets values of respect, encouragement, trust, and growth. 10/10 community and content.

Why 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.

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.
