I was on my way into it before I finally landed the videogame gig that I was really aiming for the whole time. Basically I called music studios in town, asking to do an internship (for free.)

The one I ended up at was actually pretty large (even by Austin standards, where EVERYONE has a studio in their basement/garage,) and I met a lot of producers that way when different bands would come in to record. Schmoozing with music producers is the way to go, IMHO. They have all the power, and seem to really have a penchant for helping out people they like (and giving no one else a chance.)
