A professional recording studio where community meets quality

A full-service recording and music production facility in the heart of our community! Record your next single, book a session for your band, produce your next podcast, create a new song from scratch, or have your finished song mixed.

The YMCA Lighthouse Recording Studio is a community-based recording facility providing a professional, comfortable and creative environment for young musicians and seasoned recording artists. Our staff and engineers specialize in hip-hop, jazz, and R&B, and have recorded a wide range of genres including rock, pop, gospel, EDM, contemporary classical, and singer-songwriter. Studio rates include a professional engineer, file delivery, and server backup of all recording sessions.

Located in the Homewood-Brushton YMCA, the Lighthouse Recording Studio is the heart of the Lighthouse Teen Center, a media-arts afterschool program that provides free, year-round instruction in music production & recording, film, songwriting, graphic design, visual arts, poetry, and dance. The recording studio is available for fee-based client sessions during weekdays and Saturdays. The recording studio is staffed by a team of professional engineers and youth apprentices. When you bring your recording project to the Lighthouse you not only get a great result, you are also contributing to the development of our young musicians and audio apprentices.
