It looks like the studio is in a house, what's up with that?
It is! But nobody lives here. The building was gutted in 2009/2010 and the main listening room is a custom designed "room within a room". We have dedicated tech power on it's own isolation transformer for both the main EQ Studio and the Cutting Studio, there's a small lounge with kitchenette, and the whole place is ADA compliant.
If you're at all familiar with Nashville's Music Row, you'll recognize the Craftsman neighborhood for it's mixture of studios, publishing companies, management offices, performing rights organizations, record labels, and professional services, many of which are in converted homes. The newest additions to the neighborhood include multistory residential buildings along side the old music industry infrastructure.
