NOT artists. NOT artists who self-produce. NOT DJs. NOT record label owners. NOT A&R weasels. NOT journalists. NOT critics. NOT managers. NOT songwriters. NOT lawyers. NOT promoters. NOT significant others. And especially NOT vanity recording artists that have so much juice that they can buy a production credit for themselves.
I am talking about good, old-fashioned, non-artist, full-time 3- or 4-point record producers like Rick Rubin and Brendan O'Brien. "Name" producers. The kind your record company wants you to work with. The kind that marry pop stars and get label imprint deals. The kind that that if they produce a record you might buy it because you really like her sound.
While there are many fanciful things about the movie "Laurel Canyon," this I found most fanciful of all.
Names, please.

Really, the Musical Feast comp of her productions on Sanachie is one of my favorite Jamaican records.
I'll try to think of more...

I doubt it. Mads is a pretty usual male name in Denmark and Norway (Mads = variant of Mats = shortened form of Matthias/Mattheus, or something), and the surname Bjerke is indeed Danish/Norwegian.

another name that comes to mind is Anjali Dutt but I think she's much more of an engineer than producer
― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Sunday, 13 April 2003 04:10 (twenty-one years ago) link
Probably the most prolific producer/engineer around now that I'm aware of - QOTSA, Wilco, Whiskeytown, Iggy Pop...

Also, Kandi, who worked with Shek'Spear for TLC and Destiny's, although I think she had some pretty unsucessful releases under her own name.

Victoria Spivey used to produce records and owned a record company, too.

I just... can't. Because I have actual work to do today. But when you follow up a quote like:
"If they're a bunch of guys and they're young and they're funny and they tell rude jokes, you have to be a woman who isn't shocked by that and can, as a matter of fact, crush them all with three words."
^^^^which is getting at something, WRT the attitudes one encounters, and the expectations and barriers that women have to feel comfortable facing.
with:
"The more stringent and insurmountable constraint is the biological one. A man can, technically speaking, reproduce on his coffee break. It doesn't take all that long, and biologically it doesn't take much of a toll. For a woman, the opposite is true.
I do not have enough FUCK YOU in the world for Prof Rogers.
Because reproducing and "lack of interest" are not things I have EVER experienced in the world of production. But other stuff, oh boy I could write you a book.
But like I said, I've got work to do.

"There are no social barriers to a woman becoming a record producer," says Prof Rogers.
yeah this ^^ made me make an actual face at my screen, like wtf

indeed, and it's a refreshing sign of equality that women doing sound can be dicks just as much as men.
