From Prince to JJ Lin: Scottie Baldwin on Crafting the Perfect Mix 🎤
Legendary FoH engineer Scottie Baldwin—known for his work with Prince, Lady Gaga, and JJ Lin—shares his refreshing perspective on live sound and the modern engineer’s role.
From his early days learning to fix guitars, to making bold moves like switching to a Yamaha PM1D mid-tour with Prince, Scottie’s journey through analog and digital realms is nothing short of inspiring. His go-to choice? Yamaha’s RIVAGE PM Series, which he praises for its musical precision and onboard Rupert Neve Designs SILK processing.
💬 “You’re not just mixing for the room anymore—you’re mixing for the world,” Scottie says, emphasizing the importance of recording every show, not just for fans in the venue but for millions online.
His philosophy?
🔸 Simplicity over complexity
🔸 Deep understanding of the music’s emotion
🔸 Always mixing for the person in the “worst seat” in the house
