Where was Taylor Swift’s “august” mixed after being recorded in Los Angeles and Brooklyn?

Taylor Swift’s “august” was mixed at Long Pond Studio after recording took place in Los Angeles and Brooklyn.

The song’s recording locations included Kitty Committee in Los Angeles and Rough Customer in Brooklyn. Long Pond Studio, located in the Hudson Valley of New York, was used for mixing. The distinction matters because recording, mixing, and mastering are separate stages of music production.

Long Pond is strongly associated with Folklore because Swift later filmed Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions there with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff. That documentary showed the collaborators discussing and performing songs from the album in an intimate studio setting.

Sterling Sound in New York City handled mastering, not mixing. Rough Customer was one of the recording locations, while Kitty Committee was the Los Angeles studio connected with Swift’s vocal recording. These similarly named facilities are easy to confuse when tracing the song’s complete production history.
