[@williamishizaki]

Thank you for making this man! I really hope to finally learn how to actually produce better, always just playing instead of learning to put it out there

[@BeatAcademy]

You can do it!

[@eastsidebloody]

I've been hoping that you do one of these. Thanks ill

[@PyaePhyo.Honest]

I Love this Man ❤ I’m still learning music production and thank you for making these kind of video 🙏🏻

[@HiFiJi]

Just found your channel, and I just subbed. Thank you for your knowledge 🙏

[@iloverihanna]

Thank you soo much !!!

[@miguelpichardo07]

Ivan you're the best buddy...!!!

[@MartinPNairn]

This is the perfect video at the perfect time. Just what I needed right now. Thanks mate!

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure glad it was helpful!

[@user-qe8mw3hw3o]

Thank you so much! It's been few years since I started producing and saw your video on recreation of The Prodigy. Personal circumstances stopped me from joining The Beat academy community. Great I have just joined, started producing and I will just chace my dream. Can't wait for the live in November. Let the beat goes on!

[@BeatAcademy]

YES!!! Excited to have you as part of the Beat Academy family. I’ll see you there on the live call

[@supersman1001]

Thank you so much! The video was truly inspiring and showed that making good music is achievable for anyone and everyone

[@BeatAcademy]

Grateful for your feedback

[@jas_bataille]

Formidable advice with IMHO a couple of caveats : I think this is a great idea to try to recreate tracks, but! There really is no specific system to compose melodies, bass lines, or anything else. Every artist has their own way and you gotta figure it out. Also I know a bunch of people able to reproduce a 1:1 copy of a record yet totally uncapable of any creativity, so you gotta balance this out. Edit : I understand for producers specifically it's great tho Another thing I kind of disagree with, is that imitating what's already popular will get you there. I think as a songwriter it's a big misconception and let me explain : in business, we say that the moment someone unveil a secret, it means the market it dead. The moment everyone talks about autotune, autotune is dead. You can hop on a trend and get some success, but you aren't going to stay relevant very long without you yourself innovating or simply bringing something fresh. However, I agree that those are great ideas that I will implement in my workflow as a musician!!!

[@samuelllopiz912]

Amazing as Always! Keep it up

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks again!

[@uberkup]

Thank you for this sincere and generous sharing.

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure!

[@jas_bataille]

I'd love to have a you as a mentor! You're like the only legit online production academy guy out there I feel like xD

[@BeatAcademy]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Stay encouraged with your music

[@sarah5181]

Aaaaeeeewww you're adorable thank you so much

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure ;)

[@PratyushOfficial]

Bro why did you remove the "i like me better" remake you made. That video inspired me so much and now its gone. Can you please PLEASE reupload it

[@fpi9361]

This is awesome ill factor, are you planning on restarting your courses again for coaching?

[@BeatAcademy]

Yup we are getting ready to open registration for our next round of *"Elevate"*

[@dieagoz910]

Hey, I'm new to this Chenal. I saw lot of producer's like you, who doing production more in pop side, Always used Pro Tools or Abltan. what't the reson for that, why you guys don't use Fl studio ? please explain

[@JBRitchie8]

Are there songs that are impossible/too difficult to recreate? I don't know whether to balance learning my favourite songs even if they're difficult or just recreate easier songs.

[@BFHPET]

could you make a video where u making song whit ai plugins like unison bass dragon and wizard

[@samuelllopiz912]

That would be awesome!

[@BeatAcademy]

Sounds like a good idea thanks.

[@BFHPET]

when will you do that video? @@BeatAcademy

[@rame.]

whatever you do do not make anything like cbat (its in your url) and definitely do not search about that song

[@Proximus84]

What about copyright when you recreate a currently popular song? Won't the KZbin algo just takedown the video?

[@BeatAcademy]

Nope they will just have you share the Adsense revenue with the copyright owners. That’s basically why I make close to nothing on this channel heheh

[@Proximus84]

Good to know, thanks for the reply 😀@@BeatAcademy

[@1.4142]

nice url bro

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks

[@1.4142]

@@BeatAcademy It says "cBAT" in the video id haha

[@activemusickid]

We can’t post covers to social media without proper permission from the copyright holders, so why would this be a good idea?? People are constantly getting demonetized for this stuff…

[@ghstknte]

my advice for those seeking a mentor, find someone who has left the same industry you're currently in rather than someone who is active. They'll hold back less help and advice you'd need.

[@BeatAcademy]

Totally depends on the person from my experience

[@ghstknte]

@@BeatAcademy yes every individual will think differently

[@DJDJisMusic]

Nice advices, but at the end another video like “buy my course” 😕

[@elbraunis]

WAIT YOURE THE GUY FROM SYNDICATES TRAILER MUSIC

[@BeatAcademy]

Yup I sure am! ;) nice to meet you

[@elbraunis]

@@BeatAcademy i burnt that song so much when it came out! nice to see your content after so many years!!

[@JamesRamboPearce]

Right so how do you find a mentor? Honestly it’s been something I’ve been trying to find someone willing to give their time who’s got that experience. Yes you’ve got a platform but the how is missing from this vital point.

[@BeatAcademy]

Great Question. Yes I purposely created Beat Academy as my platform to mentor others, in but in general try leading with a mindset that aims to provide any kind of value you can even to those you are looking to gain mentoring from.
