Behold! Polished Dirt! Something like this could only come out of Japan.

Actually, working with composers on a daily basis, and as someone with a very rudimentary musical skill level myself, I find the musical part in most people who do it often DOES come naturally. By definition a musician is someone that has developed their musical skills. Someone who "dabbles a bit" or a "plays a bit of guitar" isn't a really musician.

Earlier I stated the engineers I work with just "know" what they want to achieve in their head and through practice know how to fluidly translate that in to results.

Both true. Either writing music or dealing with engineering issues during the day (that's... engineering engineering, not sound engineering), I tend to work mostly at an intuitive level. It wasn't always that way - and you can work through the same problems methodically - but it's actually quite frustrating now when intuition fails and I have to start breaking it down.

Some people take longer to get to that point and that's OK - but nobody gets there by merely dabbling. The journey from "competent" to "adept" is thousands of hours long.

Having a nickel plated Desert Eagle makes you look more gangsta'...
