Hello, what kind of software do you recommend to make music as professional as this ?

I'm sure you'd have an easy time with FL studio so long as you already understand composition. I know I enjoyed my 3 month run with it

FL studio gets a bad wrap because its generally easy to use (so alot of noobs get ahold of it and make sub-par music) but if you know what you're doing it works great.

Various DAWs (digital audio workspace) that you could look into are Cubase, Ableton, or Studio One. Fruity Loops is okay, but it's completely different than any other DAW and doesn't grant easy access to standard (and essential) midi controls. It's 'pattern' workflow is great if you love to make repetitive music (perfect for EDM). It doesn't play nice with some higher-end 3rd party software like Kontakt.

Pro Tools is not great for composition, but decent for sound editing. It's a non-destructive workflow, so that's a plus.

The out-of-the-box instruments that most of these come with are usually poor and limited. You'd need to look into 3rd party synthesizers or sound libraries to get better and more versatile sound.

I used to use Cubase, a composer friend used to swear by Cubase as well and now has switched to Ableton and loves it.

Maybe look into the Komplete packs by NI, i've used them and they are great.
