Short answers, pulled from the story.
Mix magazine was co-founded in 1977 by David Schwartz, Penny Riker-Jacob, and Bill Laski. Hillel Resner served as the first ad sales representative and later became publisher and producer of the TEC Awards.
Mix magazine was originally based in San Francisco, where it launched in 1977 as a tabloid-style directory of recording services. By the 1990s, its offices were in the former Jelly Belly building on Hollis Street in Emeryville, California.
Mix magazine is distributed in 94 countries. It bills itself as the world's leading magazine for the professional recording and sound production technology industry.
In April 1980, the magazine dropped "the" from its name and became "MiX". It then skipped an issue and returned as a slick color magazine, transitioning from its original tabloid-style directory format.
In January 1989, Mix Publications, which included Mix magazine and Electronic Musician, was sold to Act II Publishing, a company owned by Norman Lear. In 1994, the publications were then sold to Cardinal Business Media in Philadelphia.
In 2021, the music production publication Pro Sound News merged with Mix online. By that time, Mix was owned by Future, the British media company that had acquired NewBay Media in 2018.
