Se c’è una domanda che mi viene rivolta praticamente in ogni corso di produzione musicale, workshop o lezione individuale, è questa: “Matteo, da dove parto per costruire un home studio?” È una domanda semplice, ma la risposta lo è molto meno. Negli ultimi quindici anni ho avuto la fortuna di lavorare in studi professionali, allestire il mio spazio creativo, testare decine di sintetizzatori, ...
Some pieces of gear simply add new sounds to your setup. Others completely change the way you approach music production. After spending several weeks with the Normal Devices Decay Cascade, I quickly realized that it belongs to the second category. Over the past few weeks, I’ve integrated it into my daily workflow, pairing it with different hardware synthesizers and experimenting with pads, ...
In the world of modern music production, we are constantly drowning in screens, endless plugin menus, and digital interfaces. Consequently, these elements can easily stifle our creative spark. Sometimes, to find true inspiration, you need something radically different. In other words, you need something tactile. Enter Teenage Engineering.

The debate surrounding artificial intelligence in electronic music is everywhere right now. Some see it as the death of human creativity, while others view it as the ultimate cheat code for pumping out tracks. As with most studio technologies, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. AI isn’t going to write your next club hit for you (thankfully), but it can become the fastest, most tireless ...

As of today, May 22, my brand-new single “ahahahahah” is officially out now on all major digital streaming platforms. This track represents one of the most audacious creative challenges I have taken on recently: extracting rhythm and melody directly ...

Tuttavia, la realtà tecnologica odierna ci offre uno scenario ben diverso e molto più profondo. Sono Matteo Scapin, Specialista in Produzione Musicale Assistiva e Inclusiva, e la mia “missione” è abbattere i pregiudizi che vedono la tecnologia come una barriera per la ...
Hi, I’m Matthew. In today’s electronic music landscape, raw talent is only half the equation. The other half is how you communicate it. If a producer’s calling card used to be a physical demo, today that role belongs to Instagram. For an artistic director, a booking agency, or a record label, your profile isn’t just social media; it’s your multimedia portfolio and your aesthetic manifesto. In ...
If you’re a music producer, you’ve likely hit that wall: you’re staring at your DAW, you have a vibe in your head, but the notes just aren’t clicking. For many of us, the phrase “music theory” sounds like a snooze-fest—or worse, a math class that threatens to kill our creative flow.
