 STILL RECORDING TO TAPE!
bova sound is a private recording studio in Ottawa Canada run by father and son; Phillip Victor Bova and Philip Shaw Bova. For over three decades we have provided high quality production, engineering, mastering and musician services. We've worked on and played on hundreds of records. We’re proud to provide a relaxed yet pro "old school" yet state of the art recording facility and service.
We're inspired by many of the classic studios that made classic albums in the analogue era. We have an extensive collection of vintage recording gear (mics, eq's, compressors, preamps, effects) and instruments. Some of our equipment has been custom designed and built in house (check out sage ELETRONICS at http://www.sageelectronics.com) ... |
