Mojo Music Studio
Afordable Sessions and Vintage Gear

Established in 1997, Mojo Music Studio in Easton, New Hampshire, has become one of the Granite State’s most respectable recording studios. The studio hides in the woods of the White Mountains, located centrally between Boston and Burlington. Having just completed a remodeling job, the studio now has a custom vocal booth, brand new drum and amp isolation rooms and wood floors to add to its impressive list of amenities.

As its massive client list proves, Mojo Music Studio is open to all sorts of styles and genres. The bands are usually independent, so you don’t have to be a big name to get studio time in here. Mojo boasts that they can guarantee an “almost limitless aural palette,” whether you want a scratchy vintage sound or a crisp clarity in your music.

Mojo’s extensive list of equipment would make any music engineer swoon. The studio features the finest in both modern and vintage gear. Fewer and fewer studios bother with analog tape machines these days, since digital recording allows for much more efficient work. Mojo realizes the superior quality that comes from a Fostex B 16.5” 16 track, however, and has two other tape machines to boot.Mojo also has a huge collection of vintage instruments, including a variety of 1970s Fender guitars and basses. Among their four amps is a 1974 Fender Bassman. It would be unfair to say that Mojo is not embracing 21st century technology, however, as it offers four Waves plugins along with lots of other helpful software. As the owner states on the website, “This system is killer!”

Mojo can even record your live shows with its mobile recording unit, so you can capture the energy of a live performance on a professional recording. They encourage you to book a free tour of the studio, so even if you’re not looking to record anything right now, just take a trip to admire what this studio’s got to offer.
