Nothing Studios is a former funeral home that was the recording studios and base of operations for Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor from April 1995-September 2004. It was jointly owned by John Malm and Reznor through a holding company called Hot Snakes.

The studios, located at 4500 Magazine St. in New Orleans, were apparently not seriously damaged by Hurricane Katrina. During an interiew on the Los Angeles radio station KROQ, Reznor stated that the building was not a studio anymore. Later, a collection of his photos were put on nin.com, detailing the aftermath of the hurricane on his former studios and the surrounding area, before Nine Inch Nails played a scheduled concert (which had become a benefit for the survivors).

While writing The Downward Spiral, Reznor lived in the Tate mansion where the Manson family murders took place. When he moved out in December 1993, and with the mansion scheduled for demolition, he came to an agreement with the owner to take the infamous door on which the word "pig" had been scrawled in blood. He took it to New Orleans and installed it as the front door to Nothing Studios.

Reznor relocated to Los Angeles in September 2004, and the former site of Nothing Studios was eventually put up for sale, for approximately $1.3 million. The property was purchased in 2010 for $900,000 and was converted to office and retail space.
