Located in the vibrant metro-NCR corridor, the Music Production Class Delhi/Noida has quietly become the go-to finishing school for aspiring producers across northern India. Tucked into a loft-style studio on the second floor of a quiet Noida film-hub building, the facility marries industrial aesthetics with studio-grade acoustics: exposed brick softened by floating bass traps, dimmable RGB lighting that syncs to tempo, and floor-to-ceiling diffusion slats made from reclaimed pine. The centerpiece is Control-A, a 5-seat mixing suite built around an SSL UF-8 control surface and Dynaudio LYD-48 midfield monitors. A second, smaller “producer den” houses an Arturia PolyBrute, Roland TR-8S, and modular racks run through a Tascam Model 24 for tactile performers. A live corner with miked-up Pearl kit and iso-booth means students can record vocals, Foley, or live drum takes minutes after printing a MIDI idea.
The 11-week flagship Production Master Program meets twice weekly—three hours of hands-on lab plus one hour of ear-training and critical listening—and is capped at eight seats to guarantee one workstation per learner. Year-long Saturday “club jams” give students a rotating membership in a collective Ableton session: week 1, chop Lo-fi samples; week 4, roll up to the rooftop where a cardiod array captures the city for texture; by week 8, students walk out with an EP mixed, mastered, and uploaded to a vanity DSP page that the program funds. Genre mentors include Mo Joshi (electronica), Nitish R Kumar (Bollywood hybrid), and US-returned jazz-soul producer Aman Sagar who joins via Zoom for guest critiques. Students also get an annual Ableton Live license, one-year Slate Digital All Access Pass, and unlimited after-hours booth time baked into the fee.
Beyond software, the curriculum dives deep. Week 1–3 cover synthesis, subtractive & wavetable; week 4 folds in sampling ethics and pitching Hindi spoken-word into Rhodes chords. Week 6 tackles mix-bus architecture—1176 into L2, mid-side EQing a dhol loop—while week 8 brings in a Spotify strategist to explain loudness units and playlist aesthetics. The final two weeks are spent mastering three client briefs: an indie rapper from Hauz Khas, an OTT title sequence, and a 60-second reel jingle. On graduation night the lounge converts to an invite-only showcase; LinkedIn A&Rs from Mumbai and Delhi film scorers attend, and the top two projects are pressed on a 7″ lathe-cut vinyl run jointly funded by the class.
The school’s most whispered-about asset is its alumni network WhatsApp group: 140-plus producers who swap stems, freelance gigs, and USB stick samples. An attached café-grid—a hostel desk, green couches, and Synesso espresso machine—acts as hangout, pop-up A&R lounge, and informal placement office. A monthly free demo-listen event is live-streamed on YouTube, so newcomers 2,000 km away can screen-share, take notes, and prepare for the next intake that fills within days of announcement.
