Hey! My name is Nick and I am a music producer, mixing and mastering engineer, songwriter, and ghost producer! I have worked on numerous tracks as a co/ghost producer, songwriter, and mixing engineer. On my own artist project, I have received support from artists such as Marshmello, R3HAB, Timmy Trumpet, Will Sparks, and others.
My specialization is within Dance and Pop music, with experience in the following genres:
Dance Pop
Progressive House
Future House
Deep House
Future Bass
Bedroom Pop
Whether you are looking for a full-blown production from scratch, mixing and mastering on your demo track, or tweaks and edits in your existing instrumental; I'm your guy if you want to take your production to the next level and truly find your sound!
I work based off extremely competitive prices, as I will give your track a full mix-down for $250, master your song to commercial loudness for $80, or both for $300.
I will tweak, edit, and finish your already existing production for $300, write lyrics to your track for $150, fully produce an instrumental for you with co-producer credits for $400, or fully ghost produce you an entire instrumental for $500.
I assure you I will give your track 110% and turn it into exactly what you visualize so that you can achieve your dream!

Interview with Nick Ruffalo (Ruff)
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: Analog or digital and why?
A: As impressive as technology has gotten over the last decade, there is something about using analog modeled plugins that bring a certain "warmth" to your track you just can't truly achieve with digital. The last 1% !
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: 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: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work out of Ableton Live with an HP Monitor, KRK Rokit 5 speakers, a Novation midi keyboard, and Mitchell acoustic guitar.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: EDM and Pop.
