Several key studios in Nashville, TN served as the focus for the creation of the recorded music experience known as “the Nashville Sound.” Recordings were notable for their songwriting style, musical arrangement, and the nature of the technical processes employed, including the specific recording spaces themselves. Three historically significant studios were selected as representative of this era. This study reviewed the historical background of the studios and investigated whether there may be similarities in these studios’ acoustical properties. Standard acoustic measurements were obtained and analysed in each of these three recording spaces.
