I've always been consistently in love with log in themes and other music created by Riot, and I was wondering how it was made? Is it computer generated or recorded live? A Red response would be extraordinarily appreciated.

P.S. So excited for Snow DayBard

Hey Flying Buntcake!

It depends on the project. We always compose with sample libraries first and then decide if we need live elements. A lot of it depends on how well we're able to create a realistic sound with samples and if we have time to have a recording session. The Snowdown 2015 track that you linked to was entirely computer generated.

Depends on what they're making, but I suggest watching this:

Gives a lot of insight in to how Riot goes about making music. It's mostly centered around "The Curse of the Sad Mummy".
