What people say about it
Learning at SIFM is a fantastic experience for me. Though I have been watching various music production techniques on social media initially, Divakar sir's mode of teaching with live projects, and deep dives into the details of arranging, mixing and mastering, and explaining what, why and how of each part of music production helped me in improving my projects day by day. His project review & feedback sessions along with other students helped me to understand how my music was sounding to the listeners, which I think is very much needed for any budding music producers.
