I am curious if you have tried to learn a musical instrument or learn to sing? Learning to play a musical instrument (or sing) at a level were someone would want to pay you, is probably equally hard, if not harder.
You don't have to actually play an instrument to mix things together.
But I take your point. With that analogy one can probably find an "app maker" that similarly is just drag & drop for some basic CRUD app. Just not sure that anyone actually makes those and tries to publish them to commercial repositories whereas I did get a lot of mp3s sent via MSN because half my friends were making music, and honestly many of those tracks were hard to distinguish from what I'd expect from a professional. Nowadays there wouldn't be much stopping them from signing up for a random music site account and uploading the songs there.
And yes I did learn to play an actual instrument, I know it's shit^W painfully slow (that's why I stopped taking lessons).
I think there is something about my brain that just wasn't meant for music. I found it really easy to teach myself programming but after years of trying to understand music I was never able to progress past learning other peoples songs.
There is tons of info online about music theory and such but if you follow it literally you end up with something quite uninteresting.
I recently took up drawing after quitting music and found it somewhat easier. I guess it makes more sense to my brain when the target is "Replicate what you see with your eyes but with a pencil" instead of trying to understand the complexities of why music sounds good.
