So? Since when did creating music require "musical talent" on the part of the musician? And I don't say this just to piss all over your ideas, I really do mean it. If you were able to create something that sounded pretty good in a short amount of time, then stop feeling so guilty and pat yourself on the back. There is a rather large amount of great music out there that was created by people who didn't really know what they were doing either :) I've messed around with ReBirth for about half an hour in the past three days and have been able to create a halfway decent loop or two myself. Rather than being dismayed at how "easy" it was, I seem to be more struck with the posibilities of what I could do if I weren't essentially twiddling the knobs randomly.
