I've found that the course has helped me solidify the basics of making a beat, and helped my workflow get quite a bit faster. I have been trying my hand at this music stuff for a little over a year up to this point, and the course was extremely helpful in putting words and definitions to things I'd been trying to figure out on my own. Navie D is a great teacher, and I'm very impressed with how great the course is overall. Definitely worth the value -- especially with the discord and all the benefits from that. I would say that my favorite part of all of it is the discord, the assignments, and the ability to have a network of other producers that provide legitimate feedback and we all help one another get better. That alone was worth my money. Personally, I would like to see a section that specifically covers technical aspects of beatmaking. The basics are great, but I feel it could be beneficial to add a section that covers different plugins and what they do specifically. This could just be a list of videos you've created on your youtube channel for reference, or specific descriptions made for the course. I'm mostly thinking about compression, but I feel some basic plugins that could be discussed could be limiters, duckers, flangers, reverb, etc. I would suggest this course to literally anyone that wants to get better at music production. The fundamentals are there, and it's extremely beneficial.

Navie D is a truly gifted educator. His ability to deconstruct is his greatest tool. All genres and musical styles are created and built upon throughout their history. This is what gives definition to the genre or style. Beat-Making is no different. Better Beatmaker is the best musical education tool that I have come across in my 15 years of making music. The reason is that the course deconstructs the elements of beat making down to a palatable, easy to comprehend framework that allows one to create within the polarities of the suggested limitations that are exposed throughout the course, based on what I can imagine was an intense study of the genre over many years. What separates this course from other courses or educational tools I have come across is its incredible way that it remains focused on the technical aspects of musical composition without becoming boring and uninteresting. Navie has a great way of using analogy and metaphor to drive points home after giving very concise technical knowledge about the ideas he is exploring. The video editing makes it easy to follow what he is teaching as well. There was never a point made in the course without a visual example shared. Another quality of the course that I appreciated was the structure. Each video (as far as I can remember) was under 10 minutes. Navie does not waste time. Everything that is stated is stated concisely. At the end of the course, I truly understood the canvas that I was painting on as a Beat-Maker. Navie's course elevated me from a novice Beat-Maker, still figuring stuff out, blindly making discoveries, to a confident Beat-Maker, no longer blindly making discoveries, but consciously following paths that I had not tread, which are no longer obscured from my vision. Navie gave me a map to help navigate my creativity. This map has elevated my understanding & decision making during the process of creation in a way that allows me to focus on the creative aspects of the work with more freedom and ease, rather than constantly being frustrated at what to do next. And that is JUST the course. The community that Navie has built has been just as instrumental in my growth as the videos in the course. In most public groups, there is an array of producers involved, from beginner to intermediate producers, to internet trolls, bored and starved for attention. But in the Better Beatmaker course community, EVERY producer is serious about the craft of making beats. There are monthly assignments where we all get direct feedback from Navie himself or his incredible team of senior members. There are also beat contests with significant cash prizes and even beat reconstructions where a senior member makes a beat with the included packs in the course and gives a complete breakdown on how it was made. The support I have received from this group has been incredible and genuinely helpful. All in all, I would give this course a 10/10 rating. I would suggest that ANYBODY who takes Beat-Making seriously become a part of this course. There is not a single Beat-Making session that I take part in anymore where I don't reference what I've learned in this course. It has been truly life-changing.

Fabulous experience. I had just come from a different course that I could not even get through because it was just too technical and I couldn't follow along easily. I really appreciate the obvious effort you put into giving the viewer a solid ground up foundation on beat design. I felt like I got more out of you 5 minute segments than I did on a whole hour of some videos on YouTube.

I really wish I knew about this course when I first started making beats a few years ago. It’s been a slow grind of being inconsistent and getting frustrated with the learning process but the course affirmed to me that I’ve been on the right path with my approach to beat making and gave me more complete knowledge to move forward and start building a catalog. Before the course I always felt like my beats were missing something or just not sounding right and I couldn’t finish a project or be satisfied with it if I managed to. Now I can finally make quick decisions and feel good about a completed project which has made me more motivated than ever to get in the studio.

Hey Navie, just wanted to say this course has changed my trajectory for my beats 🙏 I will be forever grateful for you and this course, seriously, my beats are sounding good, the next step is marketing and was wondering if there's any additional advice you have for that.

Hey fellows. I wanted to share a personal milestone in my beat making process. This week 2 of my beats got picked by a local rap artist and his manager. Nothing big or anything but I started my production journey on the 30th of January this year and Navies video for new producers was one of the first I ve watched and I´ve got the feeling that the course helped me to get here. The beats I made for these guys are nothing special I think but I am so extremely happy that someone deemed them good enough to make music with. Thanks for the feedback and all the information I was able to gather here so far!

I wanted to reach out and say thanks to the AMAZING program you've put together, it has been an absolute eye opener. Previously I was just randomly throwing sounds together hoping they would magically end up sounding good. Now I am much more deliberate with my sound selection and that increases my confidence a lot! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the course!!!

After watching and learning so much from your YouTube videos, I purchased Better Beatmaker as soon as it came out. I now have a better understanding of how to arrange, mix, and I now have the tools for building my bass and drums the right way. Your course provided me with detailed information from start to finish on how to improve my beat making and also how to market them. My favorite part of this course was the "Arrange your beat Right" and "Finishing your Beat Right" sections, but I must say I gained so much knowledge from each section of the course. Your style of teaching makes music production easier to understand. This course is great for a beginner /intermediate like myself. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase of this course. This course helped take my music production to the next level. I would recommend this course to anyone...100%!

First off, Navie D has great didactical skills and is able to get his knowledge across in a very structured, calm and respectful manner. By watching his tutorials, his BBM course and the accompanying live streams I have learned a lot. To name a few: My beats were always way too full and I learned that leaving space is far more interesting and pleasant to listen to. I never had much attention for the ‘sonic palette’, I learned the importance of having a ‘three dimensional’ beat not only panning and frequency range, but also the importance of depth and foreground. In addition, I learned to get past your average stock sound. I always felt that sound design would be something I would get into eventually, but Navie D teaches relatively simple techniques to create your own unique sound without having to go through an extensive synthesis course first. Also, you don’t have to take a complete mixing and mastering course to get a rich and full sound. Navie D teaches some very useful tips and tricks on how you can obtain this. To keep it short, highly recommended. It’s not just the course, but the bi-weekly challenges with feedback have become a great push to actually finish beats and a moment in time to look forward to.

I would recommend this to my friends who've been making beats for a while and want to realign with what got them into beatmaking in the first place. Trying to create in our current situation can be tough, and even trying to make music and do other things in your life can be though. The course really pulled into perspective VERY EARLY the reason why I picked this up in the first place, and the reason I'll never put it back down. I honestly didn't know how to begin fixing my beats until I joined this class.

Before joining the Better Beatmaker course my music was decent but I still lacked a lot of fundamental things that make a music sound good such as arrangement, mixing, sound selection the basic things a beginner struggle with. I just knew my music was lacking something and I didn’t know what it was. I’ve stumbled across Navie’s YouTube channel and I was blown away by the wisdom and simplicity of how everything was being taught I was hooked! When he announced the Better Beatmaker course I knew that I needed to be apart of it if I wanted to level up in music. The stuff that is being taught within this course is definitely beyond university level understanding and it’s practical for anyone to grasp. I love the structure of the course and how it’s divided into sections from starting a beat, arranging, mixing, and even MARKETING strategies which is awesome! My beats no longer sound empty or stale, my arrangements has improved a lot since taking this course as well as my sound selection. If your ready to take your music to the next level definitely INVEST in this course you won’t regret it!

I been going through a lot lately and haven't really had a chance to focus on music or anything for the past couple of months and I was shocked to find out that just when I bought this course it gets a lot better right after. I wasn't expecting this at all and it happened at a time to help give me more strength and hope with what I been going through. God bless you Navie D for blessing us with these amazing updates!!! I am so grateful I bought the course when I did and I'm loving it. Especially the arranging parts because that's where I usually get stuck on most beats.

I watch Navie D on YouTube all the time! So when I heard he was putting out a Better Beatmaker course I knew I had to jump on it. I'm glad I did. Navie D provides numerous courses in starting a beat, building a beat, arranging a beat, marketing and much more pretty much pointing you in the direction on how to become a producer for the newbies like myself. My favorite section hands down was beat arrangement before watching Navie Ds Better Beatmaker course I struggled with this but since taking the course I've learned a lot. I encourage all the new comers and the veterans of music production to jump on the Better Beatmaker course once again Navie D has not disappointed.

The course has been wonderful so far. I just about finished my beat I had been working on for a little while last night because of the course. Just a few final touches today now that my ears are rested. I know I still have a long ways to go, but with the help of the course, I already feel a huge improvement in my sound selection and just trusting my ear. Was able to swap out a few sounds yesterday and felt they fit the beat better and helped tie the music together. My structuring and arrangement was also struggling, but that didn't feel as daunting or intimidating after working through that part of the course. All in all man I am feeling great! Super inspired and cannot wait for all of the live streams and challenges with course members.

I can honestly say I learned at least one thing from each lesson and it was really easy to follow along with what you were doing even for inexperienced producers. The most helpful part to me was, there were a lot of really useful tips for people (like myself) on how to create extra space within their beats. Your POI idea is a really good concept to help guide you through your beat as well. Overall so far it was well worth the money.

I'm mostly thinking about compression, but I feel some basic plugins that could be discussed could be limiters, duckers, flangers, reverb, etc. I would suggest this course to literally anyone that wants to get better at music production. The fundamentals are there, and it's extremely beneficial.
