Interview with Nick Ruffalo (Ruff)
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: As impressive as technology has gotten over the last decade, there is something about using analog gear that brings a certain "warmth" to your track you just can't truly achieve with digital. The last 1% !
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing & mastering, as well as production and lyrical work!
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: My inspiration comes from a very mixed bag of artists, including The Chainsmokers, Journey, Gryffin, Hans Zimmer, Quinn XCII, Cheat Codes, and Lost Kings.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would bring my laptop, an unlimited power generator, my MIDI keyboard, Kontakt and Sylenth!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What element of your track was the "spark" that shaped and dictated your process? Now let's capitalize on that !
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: EDM and Pop.
