The biggest risk in the first two weeks isn't picking the wrong lesson: the course only lets you move forward once you've actually passed the one you're on. The risk is burning out on repetition before the moves start feeling automatic. Here's a pace that avoids that.
Don't try to do a full transition on day one. Foundations is built to isolate one control per lesson (CUE and PLAY, then the channel fader, then each EQ band) specifically so you're not tracking five things at once before any one of them feels natural.
Run each lesson two or three times even after you pass it the first time. The 70% pass mark unlocks the next lesson, but "unlocked" and "automatic" aren't the same thing. The goal for week one is that pressing PLAY or pulling the fader down stops requiring conscious thought.
Fifteen minutes is enough. Two, maybe three lessons a session. Stop before it feels like a grind. The course isn't going anywhere, and a rushed rep teaches the wrong timing as easily as a careful one teaches the right one.
By the time Foundations gets to "The First Transition," you're combining tempo matching, phrase timing, and the bass swap into one continuous move. This is the lesson worth returning to more than any other in week two: it's the actual shape of every transition that comes after it, just at the simplest version of each step.
Once that one feels solid, "Listening Skills" is worth doing back to back with it a few times: same transition, but with the on-screen prompts stripped out. If you can still land it by ear, the timing has actually become intuition rather than a script you're reading off the screen.
If you're stuck under 70% on the same lesson for more than a handful of tries, the fix is almost never "try harder." It's watch the demo again. Every lesson can replay itself once before you touch anything. Beginners tend to skip straight to attempting the moves and only watch the demo if they're already stuck, which is backwards: the demo is where you learn where to look and when to expect the cue, not just what button to press.
The other common fix: you're anticipating instead of reacting. The target windows are wide on purpose in the early lessons, so if you're consistently early, slow down and actually wait for the cue to light up rather than counting along and guessing.
You should be through Foundations and comfortable, not necessarily fast. Speed is what the premium sections build on top of this: the full manual EQ swap, filter tension, tempo-matching two tracks that don't line up on their own. None of that is worth starting until the fundamentals stop requiring thought.
