Which studio did Taylor Swift’s “august” use for mixing?

Taylor Swift’s “august” was mixed at Long Pond Studio in Hudson Valley, New York. The studio is strongly associated with the Folklore era and later became the setting for Swift’s intimate album-session film.

The track’s recording process involved more than one location. Vocals and other parts were recorded at Kitty Committee in Los Angeles and Rough Customer in Brooklyn, while instruments were also recorded at additional studios. Mixing is a separate stage from recording, which is why Long Pond is the precise answer.

Long Pond’s importance can create a common confusion: people sometimes assume every sound on “august” was recorded there. The song’s credits instead distinguish recording locations, the mixing location, and the mastering location.

The Long Pond connection became especially recognizable when Swift, Antonoff, and Dessner performed Folklore songs in the 2020 film Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions. That film helped turn the studio name into a defining part of the album’s public story.
