If your looking into something like recording engineering its not that difficult to get into. The first thing you can do is get a book or two about microphones (how they work how to set em up). Then youll want to get a book on the hardware used in studios I.E. signal processors, fx processors, mixing boards, recording consoles. Beyond that you might want to get a real understanding of cubase and midi. Once you got all those down everything hangs on the ability of your ears. If you do full mixes on your tables you should be pretty knowledgeable about eq and level matching and when people hear you work theyll be able to tell. I dont think classes do much unless you get a degree but even then I have seen a bunch of my friends go the schooling route and it hasn t gotten em anywhere because when it all breaks down the studio/producing business is about your ears talent and your profiency with hardware.
