Sound studio classes can be helpful for some, but they can also be very dull for the non-tech minded as they often don't realize that a large part of learning studio engineering is more about understanding electrical signal path and acoustics and not so much the semi-subjective art of mixing and mastering. I was lucky enough to learn hands on in a professional environment before I took a class. If I took classes first I probably would have fallen asleep through them, but that's more an indictment of me than of your post.
