Finally, one last very important thing I would like to add in this topic because I really feel uncomfortable being perceived as a negative person when I'm not--I'm just interested in knowing about this musical ability of creating songs in your head.

I am not just talking about myself alone and saying that I am all great and better than anyone else here (but me having this ability of creating songs in my head has given me this idea of musical mental talent to talk about.  Again, not just talking about myself--I'm also talking and asking about the musical minds of others with such musical ability as well because I am interested in knowing about such an ability and if one can actually consider this a talent.  I am not this type of person at all to brag, have an ego, etc.  I am just talking and asking about how talents work and just the idea of having the mental talent of creating songs in your head alone. Everyone here has taken my information the wrong way.  

What would be the right way?

It is natural for people to hear and see with their minds eye or ear, if you will. You may want to perceive it as a special ability and feel you have a special artistic talent- which if fine as you aren't hurting anybody.
 
The reason you think everybody here has taken your information the wrong way is because you are failing to understand that
the artistic talent is not what one may see or hear in their mind alone. For a person to be an artist they must be able to make
the information materialize so others may see or hear it. You may have problems with reality but if you want to be considered
an artist you best get real and present artistic creations for others to share because until then you are just all talk and that goes
just so far.
 
I find that you are no different than many that have posted in the forums at Cakewalk with nothing more than a good line. Only when one has something tangible for others to experience can they offer more than a conversation. and be considered to have
some artistic talent. Talking won't get you there although you may become an interesting writter. Always a bright side I guess.

It's the right way or the highway olpal.

What you are talking about is possible. Beethoven became deaf and continued to compose and conduct after becoming deaf... so the music he was writing was completely in his head, he was educated enough in music theory to write down what he was hearing in his head... so yes indeed hearing a complete work in your head is not only possible but probable, you just have to learn a way to get it out. That is the hard part.
I certainly don't mean to put you down but if you want to get the music out of your head and onto a medium where you and others can enjoy it... you have to choose a path and start down it.
You CAN do it.
In my previous post I recommended that you start slowly as far as spending so that you can get a feel for things before spending money on something you don't want or need.

You're getting pretty esoteric about merely having an imagination.  Do you ever see pictures in your head and draw them?  Do you write prose or poetry?  Converting imagination into action is where you seem to be hung up.  If you can get your ideas into a simple melody, many people here can write a chord progression just from that.  If you can sense the timing of the notes and translate that, many people can write a rhythm.  If you're only using Audacity to record your ideas, then get a CW product that you can build up your ideas slowly as they come.  If you're so willing to spend  time learning your video games, think of music as a mental game, and approach it that way.  The creative process is supposed to be fun.

Matt, 

My son claims to hear full compositions in his head. He's a hairs breath away from being 38. He started taking guitar lessons at 10 years old. He never stopped learning from that day and continues to learn to this day. That is his reality.
FYI: You can see the list of instruments he has become accomplished on HERE

BTW, this is not a brag-fest. Just showing what it takes to get the stuff out of your head and into the world.

Matt,

It just occurred to me that what you are trying to define as "musical talent" at this stage for you should probably more appropriately be called "musical imagination".

You have imagination. Now you can either

a) develop the talent to get it out of your head
b) find someone who can best translate your imagination into reality (if you do not wish to spend the time to acquire the talent on your own)
c) just sit back and enjoy your imagination

Spoiler Alert.





































It's C.
