In this interview, our guest Fett from Azalea Music Group talks about the way the recording industry has changed, and why it's important to get more women into the business. 
He also talks about a women-only clinic this fall, called "Empowering Women in Audio".
Here are some of the reasons he and his wife Nancy hold the clinics: 

1. The role of women in music production and the recording arts is changing very quickly.
   It used to be an almost exclusively “man’s game” — especially in the studio. Until a few years ago, with a few notable exceptions, nearly all recording engineers and producers were men. Now, that’s no longer the case. The business has truly opened up for women.
2. Women bring an entirely different sensibility to the studio and the music production process than men do.
   That’s not “guy-bashing;” it’s simply an observation. It’s not that men or women are “better” in the studio — they’re just different. Some of it is biological (women have different hearing sensitivity and frequency range than men do, for example), but it’s also cultural. Women bring a certain empathy and insight to the music and to the recording process that men don’t. And their recordings and production actually sound different as a result.
3. When women get together to work exclusively with other women, there’s an entirely different dynamic in the room than when they are working together with men.
   Again, that’s not intended to dis the guys; it’s simply that the whole “gender factor” isn’t present when it’s a women-only crowd. The result is that women are able to simply be themselves, and different things happen. And the results for the music can be fantastic.
