The Chateau is a digital project recording studio located on Chicago's near-northwest side, run by Brian J Sulpizio. It was opened in the Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago in 2004 and has been operating at its current location in Humboldt Park since September of 2006. Brian has been working with a variety of digital recording and mixing techniques since 2002.

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, housing three persons in platonic and romantic relationships with one another.

I am now pleased to offer mobile recording, as well as recording at Experimental Sound Studio. Please see the rates section for more info.
