Anyone know of any mixing classes in the USA that studios put on?

Just call the local studios around your city and tell 'em you're interested in mixing and were wondering if they'd let you sit in and ask questions or somethin'. It's kind of a long shot, as the last thing most people want is somebody hanging over their shoulder while they're mixing, but you never know!
Or you could just do it the way most people do: just record a bunch and mix a bunch! Take note of things you wish you could have tracked/mixed better and record something again. Wash, rinse, repeat, and always improve!

Translation: "Just purchase one of the mixing tutorial DVD's available on the internet."

Yo Nightman:Check out the Junior Colleges in your area. Many JCs and regular colleges, offer electronic music classes--I'm sure you would be doing plenty of mixing in any one of these classes.
Whatever recording system you might be using will respond to "similar" tweaks of EQ, Dynamics, Reverb, and Mastering Algorithms [if on your system].
Most folks mix what their ears like to hear unless there is paying talent involved; then, you mix to the ears of the singer or artist, in a manner pleasing to the dude paying the cash to you.
The cost of an electronics music class at a JC will probably be less than a major college.

The local JC around here has a variety of music classes involving everything from using software programs to create songs (using reason and cubase) to classes on how to use mastering software. It's all digital. I think it's like $33 a unit so in terms of price, it's really cheap. That's in my area, you might have something similar in yours.
For me, the major downside, and what prevented me from taking advantage of it, was the fact the you do have to go through some very basic classes. I'd only have time to take one per semester so it would take me almost a full year to get to the stuff i wanted to learn. However, if you can take more than one, you really only have one semester of the really simple stuff (atleast if it's similar to the programs offered around here).

If you talk to the Head of the Music Department, you can usually wave/skip elementary classes if you have the realtime experience; thus, you can go to the more advanced class.
Happy Thanksgiving.
