I think you need to consider the options here:
Yes, the software is easy (for most people that had a background in music applications) but for someone that has never used anything like it, it can be very intimidating.
Download a trial, watch the dubspot channel and other similars offering youtube tutorials for beginners, etc.
Give it a few months to see if you like it and then decide if you want to spend that money.
MOST people tell you it's easy to learn, but in all honesty the VAST MAJORITY will never learn everything you will on a reputable school with experienced musicians teaching you face to face.
Someone said, buy gear instead.
With all due respect, I disagree. What good is to have gear if you don't know how to use it?If you never learn the software you will be one of those guys on forums that argue about what software is better, because they think it's all about the tool and not the knowledge.
If you are already decided go take the classes, then you'll know what hardware is better for you, and you will spend your money more wisely in the future based on your actual needs instead of what controller [insert favorite artist name here] is using.
