Even though computer technology has made creating music easier, however, thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent.
A) Even though computer technology has made creating music easier, however, thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent
"even though" and "however" are redundant. Eliminate option.
B) Even though computer technology has made creating music easier, thinking and producing high quality material are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent
"thinking high quality" is incorrect. We require "thinking up". Eliminate option.
C) Although computer technology has made music creation easier, thinking up and producing high quality material, however, are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent
Same as option A.

Correct Option.
E) Computer technology has made the process of the creation of music easier, but thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of talent, knowledge, and experience
"the process of creation" is redundant. We can either say "the process easier" or "the creation of music easier".
Correct Answer Option D.
A) Even though computer technology has made creating music easier, however, thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Even though computer technology has made creating music easier, however, thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent.
A) Even though computer technology has made creating music easier, however, thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent
Incorrect.
Using both Even though and however, which are both opposition words, creates redundancy.
What helps you identify this redundancy is the following Stop Sign:
- Though/Although/Even though/Despite/In spite of... later followed by but/yet/however/still/nevertheless
B) Even though computer technology has made creating music easier, thinking and producing high quality material are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent
Not quite.
While this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy by not using two opposition conjunctions to describe a relationship between the two parts of the sentence, it is grammatically incorrect. The verb thinking requires a preposition in order to logically connect to high quality material. One can think up something.
Whenever the first verb requires a preposition after it and the second verb does not, the preposition must not be omitted:
- Incorrect: John cares and loves Jane.
Correct: John cares for and loves Jane.
What helps you identify this question as a Split Construction question and identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- A split construction: Verb A + and/or + Verb B + object
C) Although computer technology has made music creation easier, thinking up and producing high quality material, however, are a matter of knowledge, experience and talent
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original flaw. Using both Although and however, which are both opposition words, creates redundancy.
D) Computer technology has made creating music easier, but thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of talent, knowledge, and experience
This answer choice corrects the original Redundancy by not using two opposition conjunctions to describe a relationship between the two parts of the sentence.
E) Computer technology has made the process of the creation of music easier, but thinking up and producing high quality material are a matter of talent, knowledge, and experience
Not quite.
While this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy by not using two opposition conjunctions to describe a relationship between the two parts of the sentence, it creates wordiness with the phrase has made the process of the creation of music.
