I want to learn more about music And the game

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!

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.)

The Elevate program featuring Ill Factor is a true gem. In terms of music production, it has helped me more in the last three months than all other programs I took in the past combined. It's a no BS, straight to-the-point course led by a person who knows exactly what he's talking about. No vague statements or unrealistic promises - just pure undiluted information that is absolutely essential for anyone trying to improve and grow as a producer/songwriter. It is not cheap, but to me personally it was worth every penny. As an added bonus, I got to meet a bunch of extremely talented people and even collaborate with some of them. Aside from Elevate, Beat Academy offers tons of other resources I found super helpful and informative. 5 stars across the board. If I had to point out some areas for improvement, I would say this: when you submit your song for a review, you expect it to be heard in its entirety and not get scrubbed through. Unfortunately, this is a common issue I've experienced more than once on different platforms. It's understandable that when there are many people in the group, and the time is limited, it may be tempting to quickly scroll through the song and move on, but the entire point of it, IMHO, is to present a song as a whole. I guess, there should be some sort of divider between songwriting and beat-making. A song should tell a story, and it's usually a short one. I think it may be worth it to spend 3-4 minutes per song just to make sure the story gets a chance to be told. Other than that, as I said, I'm very happy with the program. Thanks to Ill Factor, special guests, and the entire crew, and best of luck to all the current and future students of Beat Academy!

Love it, videos are great, just would love more commenting on questions in videos!

My experience with Beat Academy has been great! Beat Academy is a very hands on community who’s members support you by providing feedback. There are plenty of opportunities to collab along with professional syncing opportunities with some big names in the industry. We also participate in monthly calls where we can have a song played and receive live feedback from our teacher Ill Factor, a Grammy winner producer. He’s very knowledgeable about music production and shares liberally on how to improve. There are plenty of courses to take at your own pace on varies subjects too! I won a contest and free membership which was awesome! All around it’s a wonderful community to be apart of as a artist. I’m new to music production and have learned a great deal. Real opportunities. If your thinking about it, it’s DEFINITELY worth it.

Great community, helped me out a lot already! 5/5

Beat Academy is great community for upcoming producers and self-producing artists. The video courses are packed with information and tips & tricks about all aspects of music production (recording, producing, arranging, ...). The community is a great place to connect with other artists/producers and regular listening sessions and production challenges offer a lot opportunities to sharpen your skills.
