Sound City Studios was located in the San Fernando Valley, amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses. The little-known recording studio housed a unique analog Neve recording console and a reputation for recording drums. Artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Kyuss, Slipknot and Nirvana recorded groundbreaking music at the studio. The film tells the story of the studio from its early days in 1969 until its closing in 2011. It then follows Dave Grohl's purchase of the studio's custom analog Neve console, which he moved to his personal studio, Studio 606. Rupert Neve is an English engineer who founded Neve Electronics in 1961, designed and manufactured the Neve 8028, "one of four in the world", and is interviewed by Grohl in the film. Famous musicians who recorded at Sound City reunite at Studio 606 for a jam session and to make an album of "all-new all-original songs, each one composed and recorded exclusively for the film within its own 24-hour session on that console." It also shows album covers by some bands: Red Hot Chili Peppers's One Hot Minute, Nirvana's Incesticide and Nevermind, Rage Against The Machine's self-titled album and many others.

Contemporary New Orleans jazz musicians discuss their childhood introductions to music in Baptist churches and through local traditions like second line (parades) and Jazz Funerals, and the role of Danny Barker in keeping traditional New Orleans Jazz alive through the 70’s and 80’s. Asking the artists point blank, director Darren Hoffman explores the potential “death” of traditional jazz through modernization and marginalization and its preservation through mentorship and the continuation of traditions that intrigue and inspire young people to play the music of previous generations.

Le film suit Lil Wayne avant et après la sortie de l'album Tha Carter III, dans la perspective du cinéma direct, sans aucune interview du rappeur. Bien que celui-ci ait donné son accord pour le film, il tenta d'en bloquer la sortie après avoir vu la première projection au festival du film de Sundance 2009. Cette réaction était due au fait qu'on l'y voit consommer de la marijuana et du sirop à la codéine en grandes quantités. En dépit de son action en justice, le film est sorti le 17 novembre 2009 aux États-Unis en DVD et au téléchargement. Il a atteint la tête des iTunes movie charts pour sa première semaine et le Huffington Post l'a appelé « un des cinq meilleurs documentaires de hip-hop de tous les temps ».
