"Our Students Experience"

Tali Mollier ( Nagaland )
As I was going around looking for an academy to study sound engineering and production in and around Delhi, I came across Crypto Cipher and since I was coming over from a different state, I was quite nervous and a little reluctant to choose which institute will suit the best for me. And after I arrived in Delhi and I came over the academy to see how it actually is, then I finally made up my decision and started studying in this academy, which is now 4 months running. I can say without any hesitation that the decision I made to join Crypto Cipher was worth it. I've gained a lot of knowledge and learnt a lot of things in this 4 months and there's yet more to come. The knowledge they embark here is very much systematic and useful. The teachers in this academy are very helpful towards the students and they have a very positive impact on us. Thank you Crypto Cipher
Himanshi Rai
This Academy is the best place to learn, the teaching pattern is something you adore because as a student you need to get comfortable with the teacher and the teaching and way we get taught here is appreciative. The equipments provided to us is of such quality, that I and my batchmates had a great time learning with them, I'm really glad I am studying here, I found some great friends and mentors; I am looking forward to learning more and getting familiar with the technicalities.
Aditya
One of the best places in India for learning about Music, sound and production. The course is well defined and structured, and the teachers put in a lot of effort to make sure each student learns well and is taken care of. Thanks to Sumit sir for founding the academy, and sharing his wisdom and insights with a lot of love and care! Thanks to Rio sir for his brilliance and clarity, and for showing us what matters! Thanks to Sahitya sir for his sincerty and warmth, making sure we learn each topic with enjoyment! Highly recommended
HARSH SONARE
The teaching faculty are very nice, accommodating and all the teacher here are very knowledgeable. The curriculum of music production and sound engineering are well planned and teach everything that a student should know while making own music. Overall one of the best institute in Delhi.
Tony (Wacky Perme ) Arunachal Pradesh
Teachers are very co-operative... I went to another institute a year ago and I didn't get a nice experience... My time got wasted. I highly recommend this institute for musicians who want to learn more. Your search here is over. I was completely impressed with their professionalism. Teachers are consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time.
critter purush
Honestly speaking, Crypto Cipher offers you much more than you would expect from any place Elsewhere in this Field. Faculty members are so Interactive, Helpful, Knowledgeable and Sincere about their Work that it Exceeded my Expectations. Each and Every single class is taken very seriously and students are there by reminded from time to time not miss any of the classes within this course so that they can learn and understand each and every step of the Process. Not just the Music Production and Mixing-Mastering but you will always get to know and experience much more than the area of knowledge you would expect from an Institution such as this. More or Less this is the Best Place if you are willing to give your Learning the best chance in the field of Audio!
Gaurav Kapoor
Crypto Cipher gives you a very wholesome perspective on understanding sound and then music. I have been here for about 3 months now and I must say that each and every module is designed very deeply and accurately. They don’t take too much of your time but make sure to give you good amounts of content to practise. After spending about 3 months here, I personally feel that the course has given me a boost to envision great aspects of sound designing, background film scoring, synthesis and a lot more being taught here in the course.

The ambience is very professional yet friendly, giving you a good studio, a very good quality of instruments and mics, a comfortable classroom to study. All of this adds to a great sense of professionalism which is extremely important for us students.

The teachers are humble, supportive and inspiring, they never hesitate to answer your doubts.They are equipped with skills and believe that “ Knowledge is power”. You get a sense of their warmth right from the first counselling session conducted by Mr Sat Prakash which is a must in my opinion. The session broadly talks about your understanding and expectations with the course and what to expect from the academy, doing this you would know whether this course is for you or not.

All in all if you are willing to work and love music, then this is the place for you.

I am extremely happy that I am able to get enrolled here and get to learn from the best, as we all say "to be the best learn from the best". The reason why this institute stands out from the rest is because of the systematic structure of the courses, Tutors are really helpful and knowledgeable. This is my fourth month here in this institute and I can proudly say that I have learned a lot, I cannot wait to learn more going forward. By the way, I am the first ever student from Ladakh to enroll here and I feel good about it. Cheers!

Had an awesome experience with CCA. Faculties are pretty good, if required students get one on one classes. The curriculum is at par with all leading global music schools like Barklee, Trinity etc. I wish I would have come over here earlier:)

Hello everyone, I am learning music production and sound engineering here since July 2024 and would recommend you to join here because of the cooperative nature of the faculty, good music equipments availability, proper studio vibes, limited student batch (full attention received). And a few more things. I have seen advertisements on social media platforms which say learn music production within 3 months etc. but my personal opinion is you cannot learn and be a good producer in such short time. The faculty here teaches from step 1 and every minor thing is covered for knowledge, and I believe you have to give proper time in order to gain full knowledge. So my recommendation is CRYPTO CYPHER ACADEMY. 👍

This is the best academy that I have got in for music production. It doesn't limit us in just software but as well as help us to create our own music. It really opened my mind about music production as whole. It really helped me in understanding music production concepts. Sumit sir is very humble and helpful. Crypto cypher is the only academy who make Indian classical softwares. It is only one of its kind in India. I would highly recommend this academy to my friends who want to peruse their career in music production.

Academy is genuinely very good and the teachers are also very nice. They teach in a way which makes even the complicated things easy to understand. If the students are eager to know then the teachers are even more eager to tell. Making notes and regular revision of what is being taught in class is extremely important. Otherwise there is huge bulk of knowledge given in classes and there is high chance that without practice and revision of the same, we won’t be able to remember them all and utilize this opportunity to the maximum potential.

I’m just 3 months into the Sound engineering course at CrypoCypher Academy's I've been amazed at how much I'm learning new things every single day. With expert instructors, a comprehensive curriculum, and a collaborative environment, it's been a transformative journey of growth, creativity, and constant discovery.

I would not take any names of other institutes but students have left other academies and came to this one because there they didn't find any education taking place. There's a difference between an institution and a business organization and crypto cipher is purely intended to provide the best music production and sound engineering knowledge. All three teachers are highly professional with great amount of expertise, very kind enough to acknowledge all sorts of problems. I am an absolute beginner in this field but they have always been there to help me out and answer all my questions 10 times. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I joined Crypto Cipher Academy in August 2018 for Sound Engineering Course. My experience with the Acadamy is an exceptional one, the faculty here is very helping and does a genuine effort to explain each and every concept in detail and encourage us to ask questions until the concept is cleared.

They encourage us to be creative and experimental, they teach us to know and understand sound visually and audibly. This opens so many possibilities for using sound of ertistically and expressively.

In my opinion, this Acadamy is the best place for learning sound, and i would highly recommend Crypto Cipher if you are interested and want to start a career in the industry.
