The studio became famous in the 1960s for being a part of what many refer to as the Nashville Sound . A sophisticated style characterized by background vocals and strings, the Nashville Sound both revived the popularity of Country music and helped establish Nashville as an international recording center. In 1977 the studio was made available to the Country Music Hall Of Fame for tours, and in 1992 it was donated to the Country Music Hall of Fame by the late Dan Maddox. Up until 2001 , it was operated as an attraction when the new home for the Hall of Fame was built in downtown Nashville.

Students use the facilities for classes learning the basic techniques of Analog Recording . Tours of the studio are still done by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum daily.
