Again, it all depends on what kind of music you're trying to make. If you're copying an existing style, it's not particularly hard. I can make a Drake-like beat in an afternoon - a quick search on Splice will even show me the exact drum sounds to use. But if you're creating your own sound? That takes effort and experimentation. Creating a song - easy. Creating music that's distinctively your own - tons and tons of effort.
