Step 1
Get a job at the ground floor. If you're young and want to find out whether this is the job for you, apply for a position at a recording studio. There's no better way of learning than watching the job being done. This type of training gives a heads up on what it takes to be good at the job.

Step 2
Apply for an internship. Many recording studios work with young people that love the music industry. An internship gives you an opportunity for guided learning. You do a job, but your primary job in the recording studio is training.
-
Step 3
Enroll in a course at a local school to get training to run a recording studio. While a college degree may not be necessary, taking business classes can make the difference in your knowledge of the paperwork, tax preparation, record keeping and business savvy if you run the studio. It may be a creative industry but it's still a business.

Step 4
Sign up for a seminar. The seminar is not meant to give you every bit of information that you need to know, but is a jumping off place for recording studio training. Seminars vary in the depth that they examine the business, but most don't last more than two weeks. Many are just a few hours.

Step 5
Start your own studio. Start with the basics and build the studio little at a time. Once you begin, throw your heart and soul into learning everything that you can about the recording industry and the tools of the trade. Ask questions and let your passion guide you. The more you know the more successful you tend to be.
