Nothing Studios was a recording studio located within an early-1900s building at 4500 Magazine Street in [[Uptown New Orleans]] that had formerly housed a [[funeral home]]. Reznor established the studio in April 1995. Marilyn Manson recorded ''[[Smells Like Children]]'' (1995) and ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]'' (1996) at the studio, and Nine Inch Nails recorded ''[[The Fragile]]'' (1999) and portions of ''[[And All That Could Have Been]]'' (2002) there. The studio, which had a 72-input [[Solid State Logic]] [[Solid State Logic SL 4000|SL 4000G Plus]] [[mixing console]] and two [[Studer]] A800 [[Multitrack recording|multitrack]] [[tape recorder]]s, expanded for commercial business in early 2000.<ref name="BuskinR"/>

In 2004 during an interview on [[KROQ-FM]]'s ''Breakfast with Kevin and Bean'' show, Reznor stated that the New Orleans recording studio was no longer a studio.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theninhotline.net/news/archives/backissue.php?y=05&m=9#1128110982|title=Friday News Roundup|publisher=The NIN Hotline|date=September 30, 2005|access-date=2008-01-10}}</ref> The following year, he documented the aftermath of [[Hurricane Katrina]] on his former recording studio and the surrounding area by posting a collection of photos on nin.com, after which his band played a scheduled concert (which had become a benefit for the survivors).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nin.wiki/Trent_Reznor#The_Big_Comeback|title=Trent Reznor - NinWiki|website=www.nin.wiki|access-date=2016-11-10}}</ref> The property changed ownership in 2011 and was remodeled into a retail space.

The front door of Nothing Studios was the front door of the [[10050 Cielo Drive|Tate mansion]] where the [[Manson family]] [[Tate-LaBianca murders|murders]] took place. Reznor, who had leased the house and knew the owner was planning on demolishing it, requested and received the door after moving out in December 1993, and subsequently installed the door at Nothing Studios' entrance.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Bozza|first=Anthony|title=The Fragile World of Trent Reznor|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-fragile-world-of-trent-reznor-114999/|magazine=Rolling Stone|publisher=Rolling Stone LLC|date=14 October 1999|access-date=4 August 2022}}</ref> Reznor left the door at the New Orleans recording studio when he relocated back to Los Angeles, and after the building changed ownership in 2011 and was remodeled,<ref>{{cite web|last=Morris|first=Robert|title=Former Nine Inch Nails recording studio slated for redevelopment into doctor's office, shops|url=https://uptownmessenger.com/2011/10/redevelopment-of-former-nine-inch-nails-recording-studio-stalled-by-parking-questions/|website=UptownMessenger.com|date=12 October 2011|access-date=4 August 2022|archive-date=5 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201205135626/https://uptownmessenger.com/2011/10/redevelopment-of-former-nine-inch-nails-recording-studio-stalled-by-parking-questions/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The door was in the possession of Christopher Moore, a New Orleans artist who acquired it from the owner of Nothing Studios, and was sold to an undisclosed buyer for $127,000 by Julien’s Auctions in September 2023.
