As long as I have been involved in music I've had a healthy respect for women who are part of the music community. Most of the bands I've ever been in had female musicians, I've trained women engineers, I've recorded many female and mixed-gender bands and I've worked with female writers. I don't see music as being a "thing for guys" and I've found that women often help introduce a balanced chemistry in bands and recording studios.
The recording field is obviously far too male-dominated. Just look at the interviews in a typical TAPE OP... there are a lot more men than women out there engineering, producing and mastering records. That sucks, and we're more than willing to be supportive of the women that are working in this field, so look for related articles in the future.
