Why This Course?
Mixing and mastering can feel confusing because every tutorial suggests different settings, plugins and techniques. What you actually need is a clear workflow, proper listening skills and practical feedback on real music.
Random Tutorials Create Confusion
You may understand individual tools like EQ and compression, but still struggle to connect everything into one complete mixing workflow.
Your Mix Does Not Translate
A mix may sound good on headphones but become muddy, harsh or unbalanced when played on speakers, phones or other systems.
Vocals Do Not Sit in the Mix
Vocals often sound disconnected, buried or too loud because balancing, EQ, compression and effects are not working together.
Mastering Becomes Guesswork
Without a properly prepared mix and clear mastering process, increasing loudness can create distortion and reduce clarity.
Better Mixing Requires 3 Things
YouTube tutorials can explain tools and techniques, but they cannot listen to your mix, identify exactly where you are going wrong or give you personal feedback. This live course gives you a structured workflow, practical assignments, real-time doubt clearing and corrections—so you don’t just collect information, you actually improve your mixes.
Who Is This Course For?

Aspiring Mixing Engineers
For learners who want to develop critical listening, improve their decision-making and build a reliable workflow for mixing real songs.
What You Will Learn
Inside the Mixing Room

Learn From Someone Who Does This Every Day
The Mixing & Mastering Group Course is taught by Vrishaank, founder of Trichord Academy of Music, with years of practical experience in music production, mixing and training music learners.
Vrishaank
Hi, I’m Vrishaank—an independent artist, music producer, mix engineer and founder of Trichord Academy of Music.
Over the last 8+ years, I’ve trained music learners through YouTube, live sessions and online courses. My teaching approach is simple and practical: understand what you are hearing, identify the actual problem and then choose the right solution.
Most learners struggle with mixing not because they lack plugins, but because they don’t know what to listen for. They keep changing EQ settings, adding compression and trying new presets without understanding what the song actually needs.
In this course, I’ll help you develop that missing decision-making process—from building a strong static mix to controlling frequencies, dynamics, vocals, depth, mix-bus processing and final mastering.
Everything will be demonstrated using real sessions, followed by practical assignments, doubt clearing and feedback—so you can understand not only what to do, but also why you are doing it.
8+ Years of Training Musicians & Music Creators
Real moments from our live group classes at Trichord Academy—where students learn through practical demonstrations, open discussions, doubt clearing and real DAW workflows.
This is the live learning environment you become a part of inside the Mixing & Mastering Group Course—practical classes, real demonstrations, project feedback and direct interaction with Vrishaank.
