With music software a lot of the people who design the software spend
their spare time using it to make music. A mix of both user/designer.
This can have its benefits as you are constantly real world testing

workflow
and there are some highly developed skills (ie more than the basic
web
skills of an e-commerce user). Also, I am contrasting this
approach to
on-site observation, empathic modeling and user role playing.
