> But 'getting started making music' is like you only need their product, trigger some samples and you can be an artist too.

I mean, is that wrong? Unless you stick to some elitist definition of artist, why is someone who plays with these samples to create something not being an artist?

It's not wrong, just feels misleading. For me it's like Sublime text comes with a little tutorial with the title "Get started making apps", and only give an intro on making a hello world program in C++, to sell their product.

I don't get the problem with that either? Being an "artist", or "making apps" aren't hallowed titles. Are you treating it more like they're saying "You'll be a super successful musician" or "You'll be a multi-millionaire app maker"? Because I'm no seeing it like that.
