The Chateau Recording Studios

The Chateau is a digital project recording studio located in Lakewood, CA, right by the Long Beach Airport.

The Chateau is a one-room studio with an incorporated control space. Tracking and mixing occur in the same space, and sound treatment has been carefully placed throughout the room to create appropriate environments both for mixing and for tracking a variety of sources. The treatment of the space allows for the capture of natural reverb, which can make artificial reverb sound more natural, or in some cases make it unnecessary. The vast majority of mixes are done entirely in the computer; a great deal of overhead costs are avoided by providing an outstanding front end while omitting such amenities as outboard processors and effects, and a central console. The Chateau is also a home, with bathroom and kitchen.
