George Shilling talks with Ben Baptie at Strongroom Studios, London
Ben Baptie is a seriously 'up and coming' mix engineer and producer who is currently based at Strongroom Studios following his return from the US where he was based at Electric Lady Studios working with Tom Elmhurst. Just a few choice recent credits include: Adele, Mark Ronson, U2, Ellie Goulding, Rufus Wainwright and many more - see some of his credits below.
This interview with Ben runs for about an hour which these days is a bit long, most people 'tune out' after 7 minutes but we hope you can find the time to watch this as Ben has lot's to say and show. He comes accross in person as a really lovely guy and we can see why he is great to have around and have involved PLUS he is super talented!
Special thanks to everyone at Strongroom Studios for their introduction to Ben and help in making this feature possible! Big thanks to George Shilling for doing this interview!
