In regards to commercial applications, yes. It is very easy for someone 
to fire up Reason and knock out some tunes. Of course, there are still 
areas and applications that require a lot of knowledge and experience. 
Morphing one sound into another still amuses my friends pretty well (or 
at least I'd think it would).

I'm not sure if I agree with this or not, but if it is true, it can 
only be a good thing. I've heard far too many warbling sine waves out 
of academia in my day... and I've not even been around that long. ;-)
