I did the 6 week mentorship program… I did the 6 week mentorship program and it worked awesome for me. I mainly used for feedback on my own tracks and it helped me drastically. My mentor had really constructive criticism throughout the whole program and he helped get my songs to the level I was looking for. And I love how personnalized the whole thing was. I came in with a set of goals in mind and that's exactly what we did.

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!

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.

Private mentoring with Grammy producer I wanted to get some professional feedback on my productions from someone with way more experience than me. So I decided to work with Ian Prince, a Grammy winning producer. We had weekly calls and after 4 weeks he helped me tighten up my production and I learnt a bunch of techniques and approaches that I can use on all my productions moving forward. I will probably work with Ian again in the future. Highly recommended private mentoring if you're serious about making progress as an artist/producer.

Soundfly is like Nitro for your learning music production journey Soundfly is a great way to accelerate your learning journey. They really have great comprehensive courses and an excellent One on One mentorship program where you get direct input from an experienced mentor who helps you accomplish your goals. It's best to have one or two well defined goals vs trying to learn a whole bunch in a month. You get at least 4 weekly sessions - these fly by if you are not focused. Best to go deep than wide. My mentor was awesome Joseph - but I had too many goals I think. I learned alot, but will adjust my goals next time. Why not 5 stars? I would suggest that the goal outlines and clear success metrics should be discussed even more before starting... my fault, but Soundfly could integrate this into the onboarding process. I'm probably a little unfair to them as every student is different. But 4 1 hour sessions can only do so much - better to get really focused. Otherwise they are real, honest, professional and nice people... and a great slack community! Honestly try it - great content, community, value for money. It's better than just some monthly video course... its direct, live and specific to your needs, and your learning stage. You will love the progress you make with Soundfly.
