And I have a Piano, yet can't play chopsticks, to say nothing of Chopin.

Most likely, the music was enhanced using FL Studio (using an orchestral VST) and the actually music itself was composed in a MIDI software program like Finale.

I have FL Studio myself but I just use it to enchance and remaster my midi files of original songs and remixes. I do wanna learn how to make hip-hop beats and samples with FL Studio one day.

Open the Piano Roll. Click the arrow in the top left. Go to Tools>Riff Machine

Also, you can apply one of your Channels to a mixer track, and use the Gross Beat FX for that track. You can get some crazy stuff by messing around with Gross Beat.

Hmm. I should try that out one day when I'm free from work. Also thinking of investing in a MIDI controller keyboard and drumpad so it'll be easier to create beats via a physical keyboard/controller.

Skaf just said Concord is an awful song.

Okay...who cares?

A lot of composer sand musicians came out with songs and beats they tend to hate.

I saw this in my sub box too. Awesome.

...and I just said Concord is an beautiful song. I feels strong urge to dance like a gentleman in latter half. If that make you feels better.

By the way. Can I compose an music with PC alone. I have no reliable recording device and any musical instructment but a wooden recorder and guitar that I can't play. But my head is full of symphony-choral-trance-metal that I will never express it by humming (and breathing in tune which sounds very ugly). I think I could use Vocaloid as voice but nothing for everything else. Can anyone recommend some program to me, and perhaps other here.
(sound very off-topic but I promise I will make my version of Parity to compensate that)

Yeah, that's totally possible. FL Studio is a pretty popular program. I use it myself. In fact, I think someone said earlier that most of the music for KS was composed with it. With all the VSTs around you can cover just about any instrument. Native Instruments, for example, has quite an assortment of them. A MIDI keyboard or something of the sort can make the process easier from my experience.

That's someone is ShadeHaven, and I heard the name "Fruity loops" and an awesome beats from it. Thanks for answer me, I thought it is complicate program.

If you guys want a complicated program for music production, check out Reason. It's an amazing program but damn that learning curve is harsh.

It's actually pretty easy to learn. There's plenty of tutorials as well, so it shouldn't take too long to get the hang of it.

This. Excellent program, but a high learning curve. FL Studio works great for me though. It does everything I need it to.

I usually prefer harder way if it's not too hard. But now I already got FL studio demo and trying to learn it myself. There are lot of guides out there but I prefers to ask any of your guy for question. So who (if there is anyone) I should and can ask about basic and perhap more advanced thing via PM. I don't want to post anymore off-topic thing.

P.S. I DO promise I will make a version of Parity, and I will make one.

I can probably help you with any questions you'd have.
