nothing should discourage you at anything tbh
especially if the 'discouraging thing' in question is criticism like that. Music is indeed a difficult media to master, but so is any kind of art tbh. I started doing really shit music on famitracker too, I didn't know how to make nice sounding instruments and I'd just copy notes from the source, without any fine adjustments. I've been famitracking for 5 whole years so far and thanks to practicing and studying it, I am able to make better sounding covers and even original music. It's something that if you don't devote to it, you won't be that successful imo
