Our Story

Founded by Brian Hunter in 2003, The Mousetrap Recording Studio has been a cornerstone of the Denver music scene. Over the years, the studio has served countless artists and bands across genres, providing exceptional recording, mixing, mastering, and music production services. In 2024, Will Schmid joined as co-owner and together they opened a new location.

At the new studio location, next door to Gravity Music Gear, Brian and Will have transformed a former santeria shop into a comfortable and creative environment perfect for any music production project. Equipped with top-of-the-line gear and staffed by experienced audio engineers, the studio ensures that every client's music achieves the highest quality sound possible.

Whether you're an emerging artist or an established musician, The Mousetrap Recording Studio is dedicated to making your music sound its best. Contact the studio today to book your recording session and experience professional music recording, mixing, and mastering services at their finest!
