without an M-Audio box that seems impossible.. but yea.. Fruity Loops, Reason or anything like that or very accessible and can be easily downloaded or bought (even with a similar pricetag to a rockband). The amount of VSTi's available (virtual instruments) is ridiculous and many good ones are even free...
And what about musical knowledge? Even if you learn to operate a DAW, what about the act of creating music? What scales are there? How do chords work? What's a perfect fifth? What's a cadence? All of these things are needed in order to produce a song. No, you don't have to know the theory behind them, or even their names, but you need to know how to apply them in your music. That's a limiting factor for a lot of people, and one that Wii Music does away with.
Yes, Wii Music does not let you create music, but it lets you perform songs. People need to stop looking at this game soley from their own perspective and consider the way the public thinks about music. The imediate accesibility for anyone to make music is where the (intended) apeal of this game lies.
