Frequently Asked Questions
How Long have you been around?
Audio Pro Network was formed in 2008 as a private social network for verified audio professionals.
Why did you start Audio Pro Network?
In 2008, our founder wasn’t satisfied with the current message boards and business networks serving the audio industry. Non-professional members on these sites contributed to misinformation and the experience was often an unfriendly one. So, he set out to create a welcoming, helpful environment with a bigger objective; Create a new audio friendly pro audio culture combined with an inclusive mentorship platform for the next generation.
What is the difference between the Pro and Mentorship platforms?
The Pro membership is a customized private social network designed with a low noise floor. A professional atmosphere with on trolls, bots or tracking. It comes with a host of benefits and it is free for verified Professionals. Apprentice membership includes networking, tutorial videos, scheduled chats, screen sharing sessions, and unfettered access to our staff Mentors.
Why is Professional membership free?
Professional membership has always been free and it was always our promise that it would remain so. There are already many free social networks, so charging for this one didn’t seem like the right thing to do.
If I purchase membership to the Mentorship Platform what exactly am I getting?
APN has redesigned the mentorship concept giving you access to real-world advice from experts along with a sleek, customized, audio-specific social network. Contact our staff Mentors anytime via messaging on the site. Think of this platform as having an Uncle or Aunt in the audio biz. We’ll also empower you to connect with your APN peers. This tight-knit, supportive community is growing and learning right alongside you, and that human connection is what APN is all about. Whether it’s resume building, portfolio website advice, or mixing critiques and tips, all suggestions are tailored to your needs. You’ll be encouraged to take advantage of all the features the network has to offer, such as scheduled group chats, private chats, and our custom and curated content. Your interactions with our Mentors can be freeform communications or scheduled meetings. We are here to help on all creative, technical and business issues. For qualified Apprentices who show the necessary motivation and experience, we will work hard to find you an internship or job placement. No promises, but we will try our best!
Can I quit at any time?
Yes, quit at any time. For paid memberships please keep in mind that there are no partial refunds.
Do you offer a money back guarantee?
We are a service-oriented site and don’t offer a retroactive money back guarantee. You can quit at any time though, and monthly charges will stop immediately. There are no partial refunds.
What types of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards.
Can I use any internet browser to view content on the site?
Yes, you can use any internet browser to view content on the site. The site also has a mobile app!
Why aren't Pros in the mentorship platform?
Many of our more well known Professional members are Academy and Grammy Award winners. We respect their privacy. From time to time some Pro's will appear as moderators or guests on the mentorship platform. Pretty cool.
