Mill Pond Music is a recording studio located in Portsmouth NH, a minute’s drive from picturesque and bustling Market Square, and situated on the banks of the North Mill Pond in a vintage factory building.

The studio is equipped with a carefully selected array of microphones of exquisite quality, the finest of microphone pre-amps and compressors, an MCI/Sony 24-track 2″ analog tape machine, up-to-date digital mixing, editing and mastering capability.

The main recording space is an ambient ‘live room’ featuring quadratic residue and polycylindrical diffusers, floating floor and ceiling design – perfect for recording acoustic guitars, fiddles, mandolins and banjos, and ideal for achieving a natural, spacious drum sound. And, that hard-to-get even, round upright bass sound is easy to capture with a nice ribbon mic in this quiet, woody, accurate room.

The control room provides an acoustically correct mixing and mastering environment, with bass traps and quadratic residue diffusers specifically designed for this room’s size and sonic characteristics. Part of this room serves as another warm, lively recording space.

Most important of all, though, is the presence behind the console of a seasoned musician with thirty years experience in the challenging environment of Nashville TN’s  music industry.

Located just 40 mins. or so from Manchester NH and Portland Me, an hour from Concord NH and towns north of Boston,  you’ll find this calm spot conducive to relaxed creativity.
