Question 1

How are the eight-week programs structured?

Accepted Answer

Each program runs over eight weeks with one core module per week. Modules contain pre-recorded video lessons you can watch anytime, plus a weekly group office hour over Zoom for live questions, critique, and accountability.

Question 2

Can I take both DJ and Production at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The two programs are independent and a lot of students take both, because they feed each other. Plan on four to six hours a week for each one.

Question 3

What if I miss a week?

Accepted Answer

All lessons are pre-recorded and stay in your members area as long as your account is active. Office hours are recorded and posted, so you can catch up on your own time.

Question 4

How much do the programs cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is being finalized for the first cohort. Join the waitlist to be the first to see program pricing and any early-access discounts.

Question 5

Are payment plans available?

Accepted Answer

Monthly payment options will be available alongside the full-pay price. Details land with the cohort announcement.

Question 6

What's included in the program fee?

Accepted Answer

Eight weeks of curriculum, weekly group office hours, all sound packs and project files released during the program, Discord community access, our AI bot tuned for music industry questions, and a monthly featured masterclass video.

Question 7

What gear do I need to start?

Accepted Answer

For DJ: any controller or CDJ-plus-mixer setup, plus headphones. For Production: a laptop, headphones, and the DAW you already use (Ableton Live, Logic, FL Studio, Bitwig, or Cubase all work). We'll guide gear upgrades as you progress.

Question 8

Do I need to already own a DAW or DJ software?

Accepted Answer

No. We'll point you at free trials and student licenses to get started, and recommend long-term picks based on your goals before you spend.

Question 9

Are classes available in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both programs run in English and Spanish. Office hours and community channels are language-tagged so you can pick the cohort that fits.

Question 10

What's your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Full refund within seven days of enrollment, no questions asked. After that, talk to us. Life happens, and we'd rather work something out than leave you stuck. Write to hello@undergroundinstitute.com.

When do I get access to the videos and sound packs?

Accepted Answer

Immediately on enrollment. The full library, current sound packs, and your office-hours invite are waiting in your members area as soon as payment clears.

Question 12

Do I keep access after the program ends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As long as your account is active you keep access to the program library, the community, and any new sound packs released during your cohort.
