As a musician/engineer myself, I never have been able to figure out what is so damned hard about playing to a click track!
If someone has trouble playing to a click track, it is quite possibly a sign that they have not been practicing to a metronome. A professional musician should (in most cases) practice to the metronome for at least an hour a day. It's an elementary discipline of music that is typically introduced to even young children within the first week of taking music lessons. Inability to play in time spurs from a lack of preparation.
