It is, believe me.

Eh, that's why i stick to programming 

All you actually need is learning 

Learning doesn't work if you're tone deaf.

Learning doesn't work if you're tone deaf.

If you have real trouble with pitch, you could learn formal composition laws enough to get by, or focus on more percussive/textural music.  

Most people can train their sensitivity to issues of pitch - it's quite common that young children have issues with pitch perception, and they end up incorrectly writing themselves off for life as tone-deaf.

BEATS drum machine is a command line tool I've found fun for playing around with rhythms.  You supply wav files to play and rhythms to play them in in a text file, and it generates and mp3 for you.

Hey. I've started making a series of tutorials on making music using the free cross-platform music creation program, SunVox, which I notice was mentioned earlier in this thread. So... Yeah. Check it out if you're interested.

Here's the homepage, and here's a playlist (which was made by a generous user on YouTube) to my tutorial series. I have a few up right now (6, to be exact). You can find demo songs and links to the tutorials on my SunVox resource site, SunVox Solstice.

Here's the latest tutorial: SunVox Tutorial Part 11 - Drops Technique

And I finally got around to making my own playlist for the tutorials, which you can find here.
