Where was Taylor Swift’s “august” mixed?

The story behind the answer

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

The song’s recording process involved several locations. Its main recording took place at Kitty Committee in Los Angeles and Rough Customer in Brooklyn, while instruments were also recorded at Rough Customer, Long Pond, Pleasure Hill Recording in Portland, Maine, and Sound House Recording in Lakeland, Florida.

Mixing is a separate stage from recording. During mixing, engineers balance vocals, instruments, effects, and spatial elements so the finished track works as a unified stereo recording. The song’s dense reverb and layered arrangement make that stage especially significant to its atmospheric sound.

Long Pond Studio is closely associated with the Folklore era. Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner later appeared together in the documentary Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, although the song’s production history should not be reduced to a single location. Recording, mixing, and mastering took place at different studios.
