Beat Academy has been a great addition to my music production education. From the library of resources, to the remakes, to the live listening feedback sessions, and even the community feedback. I've learned a ton from Ill Factor, and really like the way he teaches, and explains what he's demonstrating. I also really appreciate his desire to raise up other producers. It has been a safe place to grow and show my work, and ask questions. I also appreciate that Beat Academy has also addressed issues like creative ruts, self esteem and rejection. It's all been really valuable information. Beat Academy is a solid resource that I reach for again and again on my production journey.

ill Factor (Ivan Corraliza) is a great mentor and tutor and he has put together a wonderful platform where you can learn everything you need for a successful music career whatever your style. The Instructional/How To and Breakdown videos are filled with endlessly useful tips and tricks on top of core skills which will last you a lifetime. There is a great community with lots of peer support and encouragement and there are regular opportunities posted to submit your work for consideration in national and international projects. I genuinely believe this may be the only resource you need to elevate your music to places higher than you've imagined. Get on board!

I have been a Beat Academy member for over 3 years and I have enjoyed the experience so far. I have a full time job and my time for music is limited but having the resources always available I have been coming back to review the materials and improving my production skills at my own pace. The community is one of the big reasons why being a member is worth it. If you put in the work and the time you will find a great place to share and grow, among the BA team and the BA members you will find people with different skill levels and at different stages of their production journeys but all sharing the eagerness to improve and learn. I find is easy to connect and collaborate with others. Since I joined this community I passed from being a bedroom musician to play live and release music. I have had the pleasure of personally connecting with Ill and the team and I can confidently say they care about the users and go out of their way to bring the most value and help them in achieving their goals. If you are passionate about music and want to learn from industry professionals I would defenitely recommend to check out BA.

Beat Academy provide a lot of good music production courses and in addition a platform with challenges, networking, opportunities... It's great for people who want to contantly hone their skills and also make connections...

Amazing cursus and community! Already there since 2 years and I learned a lot with Ill Factor. Totally worth it, don't hesitate :)

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.

Great online music production academy, I learnt a lot with ill Factor, leading to official releases on streaming platforms. A lot of valuable tips and tricks, disseminated along very well structured courses, on a professional platform. Topics are covering all aspects producers must know if we are serious about it, without to say his great coaching skills making things easy to understand. :-) I could have never made it so far without Beat Academy!

Beat Academy has been a great platform to improve my production skills as well as my network. I've found multiple collaborators there. The Elevate program has been super helpful as well. The classes vary from fairly simple concepts (like sample selection) to more advanced topics (like mixing/mastering and the business side of making music) allowing for participants at all levels to benefit from the program - although I would say beginners and intermediates might benefit a bit more. Personally, I felt that the program helped shift my mindset a bit, and I have honestly not felt as productive and confident in my productions before as I feel now. I'd recommend anyone that is willing to invest in their craft and (future) career to join the program.
