Where was Taylor Swift’s “august” mixed after being recorded for Folklore?

Taylor Swift’s “august” was mixed at Long Pond Studio in New York’s Hudson Valley.

The song was recorded at Kitty Committee in Los Angeles and Rough Customer in Brooklyn. Mixing and mastering were separate stages: the mix was completed at Long Pond Studio, while mastering took place at Sterling Sound in New York City.

Long Pond is closely associated with Folklore because Swift later filmed The Long Pond Studio Sessions there with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. That association can make fans remember the studio as the recording location, but the song’s credits distinguish recording from mixing.

The production history also reflects the album’s remote, pandemic-era creation. Antonoff developed the instrumental and sent it to Swift, who wrote the lyrics quickly and intuitively. The finished track’s spacious sound helped reinforce its recurring late-summer identity.
