Rocking Horse Studio is New England’s premier recording studio, combining the finest in analog and digital equipment with rooms designed by renowned acoustician Michael Blackmer. The rooms are large, comfortable, and inviting, perfect for inspiring magical performances. Drums, piano, strings, and horns sound amazing in our large room, while quieter instruments and voices come to life in our more intimate acoustic spaces.

Record your project on our Pro Tools HD system, analog 2” tape machine, or a combination of both, using our classic Trident Series 80B console and wide selection of boutique outboard preamps. With microphones from Neumann, AKG, BLUE, Royer, and others, our microphone closet is sure to have the tools you’ll need to capture the warmth and clarity of each performance.

Services include:

• Music recording, mixing, and mastering
• Voiceovers and narration recording
• Sound design and music composition for video and multimedia
• Audio transfer and restoration (various formats)
• Session musicians
• Music arranging (horns, strings, vocals)

Located in rural Pittsfield, New Hampshire, just minutes from Concord and Manchester, Rocking Horse is set on a farm of open pastures, apple trees, and berries. With New England-style bed & breakfast accommodations in our 18th Century farmhouse, recording at Rocking Horse becomes an artistic retreat... close enough to be convenient, but world’s away from distractions.
