Testimonials

Andrew Bove made my first recording experience a successful one.  From scouting venues, setting up, recording, producing, editing and mastering - Andy did everything but play my trumpet for me.  His knowledge, patience and keen ear permitted me to let go and focus solely on making music.  I could not be more satisfied with our project and hope that he is available for our next one.”

• David Krauss, Principal Trumpet - Metropolitan Opera Orchestra

“Andy Bove was a perfect choice for our recording of Fish Church Noel. He had the ear, the personality, the people sense, the organization and the equipment to get the job done in a fairly quick and “pain free” process. Andy’s gift for keeping people “on task” yet light hearted made the process comfortably efficient. The fact that he is also a musician amplified the musicality of the final product. We look forward to our next recording experience with Andy Bove. “

• James D. Wetherald, Minister of Music - First Presbyterian Church, Stamford CT

“Recording with Andy was one of the best experiences I have ever had in the studio. His demeanor was pleasant, professional, and efficient, and the results were first rate. He was the perfect audio “guide” through the project and I look forward to working with him again. I highly recommend him.”

• Lisa Albrecht, Trombone - New York Freelance

“Working with Andrew Bove on our debut CD was a wonderful experience. In addition to his skills as a recording engineer, he was extremely flexible with scheduling and working with us from across the country through the editing process. Being a great musician himself, he not only brings his technical skills to the table, but an excellent musical ear as well. We would highly recommend him to any group looking to record either a commercial CD or simply to record a live concert. Andy is the best!”

• Joshua Whitehouse, Trumpet - Sonoran Brass Quintet

I will always be grateful to the musician who introduced me to Andrew Bove and suggested using him as an engineer (as well as a tuba player) for my new CD. Although I’ve had works released on CD in the past, before this CD I had no experience in putting together my own recording through the entire process. Yet, instinctively, I knew from my first contact with Andy that this would be the right decision. Andy is amazing in his ability to help with choices about the hall and, for one piece, players; in his time efficiency to minimize costs, in his ability to hear recording errors even after several hours, in his people-management skills, and in his knowledge of the latest and best technology. He is never too busy to answer a question, and open to input. He is a first-rate musician in every way. I would not hesitate to use him again on any future recording, assuming that I can afford him once he reaches the level of recognition that his abilities deserve. In an email to Andy I wrote “YOU’VE DONE A BRILLIANT JOB. I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND YOU! Boy, do I owe Ann!” A year later, I stand by my words.

• Faye-Ellen Silverman, Composer - Mannes College The New School For Music - Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts

Andy Bove knows his stuff and has a highly trained musicians ear to boot.  Throw in the latest equipment and technology and you are guaranteed to get the best results possible.  (If only he weren’t such a pain in the ass to work with.  I’m kidding!)  I am hoping to have him record/edit/master my second album very soon.

• Chris Komer, piano & french horn - New York Freelance, New Jersey Symphony

“Not only is Andy and excellent Tuba player and musician, his skill of recording is equally impressive. He makes you feel comfortable during the process and his comments are always very helpful. I used him to help me make an audition tape and I plan on using him every time I need to record anything.”
