im 22 now, been doing recording and synthesis since i was about 15 or 16 and as yourself i am still learning stuff..
but i found it a very educational process to try to replicate the sound of songs that i was into. i'd hear a song that really grabbed me and i felt compelled to try and reproduce it to see what kind of job i could do.
it was a pretty much 100% self taught process, but i think that is a good way to learn with this kind of thing... since then ive been taught stuff at university about synthesis and mixing/mastering/processing, but i had it pretty much down due to this previous 'research'.
i think this is a good way to learn to navigate a daw and learn some synthesis/mixing techniques, because you can look back and think... what doesnt sound the same (or similar) to the original recording, and why? and then go and improve it.
maybe set yourself an attainable target to match a song you know inside out and see how it goes.. you'll probably learn something on the way.
