New perspectives to song writing and production I did a 4 week mentorship with Ian Prince. I brought a few song drafts to our intro session and we narrowed down to one track to focus on for the duration of the mentorship. What an absolute joy it was having him as a teacher. He provided such wisdom, insight, and actionable feedback, and opened my ears and mind to new ways of approaching structure, writing, production, and sonic depth. He guided me through the tools with a very hands-on approach, demoing/screensharing stuff live, and even helped me with specific elements by singing or improving instrumentation examples over my existing tracks. The specificity and concrete demos really helped me understand what he was talking about, in addition to his clear communication even about more abstract elements and concepts. He was so approachable and incredibly generous with his time, and I truly felt inspired throughout the process.

Incredible 6 weeks mentorship with Lavender Looi I had a 6 week mentorship with Lavender Looi. She was absolutely incredible. She is very experienced and professional. She has a vision and a strong sense in music production. Listening to her thought process alone was very helpful. We worked on a new song and fixing an old song that i did previously. She was really nice and she answered all my questions during our calls or per email. Her focus was to help me and answer all my questions even if we exceeded the 45 mins call time. Every week we had a call. During the call, she gave me feedback on what i did the previous week in my songs and answered all my questions and the obstacles i faced and shows me how to do things or sent me absolutely helpful videos. At the end of each call she gave me a homework to work on some parts of the 2 songs. I learned a lot about music production from her. Before this program i was lost and was orienting myself to the youtube videos but she gave me a sense of direction and validated what i was doing right and gave me feedback how to improve other things. She gave me a lot of tips and helped understand the reason for many decisions i take during the music production process. I am absolutely grateful for this experience. Maybe as a hint, a weekly call can a bit stressful for someone who works on the side, but it is doable and i also used the 2 break weeks to do more progress in my songs.

Great place to level up your skills! Marcela was truly an awesome mentor she really helped me dial my mixes in. Overall the experience with Soundfly was very positive as the people working there are approachable (virtually) and always willing to help.

YESSSSS This is like Masterclass but if masterclass did courses I actually was interested in. When I saw Ryan Lott of Son Lux did a course on creating sample based instruments, I had to sign up. It honestly was a game changer for me. I’d always been such a timid user of Kontakt, really not knowing how to do things like create my own patches using my own samples. Now I understand that this is the key to developing sounds that are unique to you. Honestly, it was worth it for this course alone, but then I got into the RJD2 sampling course and that was also great. I can’t even remember how I found this website but I’m so happy I did!

The content is really great The content is really great. I feel like my musical skills have been elevated and this is a great option for a high quality content low cost way of learning. The courses challenge you to think outside of just watching videos and they teach you how to get out of online learning. My mentor is super fun, inspired me to try out a new process of songwriting that works best for me, and is very knowledgeable about production. Overall, it's a worthwhile experience!
