Mix magazine is a periodical, billing itself as "the world's leading magazine for the professional recording and sound production technology industry". The magazine is headquartered in New York City and distributed in 94 countries.[2][3]
"It was co-founded in 1977 under the title of "the Mix" in San Francisco, originally as a tabloid style directory of recording services, by David Schwartz, Penny Riker-Jacob and Bill Laski with Hillel Resner[4] as the first ad sales representative, and later publisher, and producer of the TEC Awards. The magazine became "MiX" without "the" ahead of it in April of 1980. It then skipped a month and then returned as a slick color magazine."[5]
In January 1989, Mix Publications, which included Mix magazine and Electronic Musician, was sold to Act II Publishing, a company owned by Norman Lear.[6]
In the 1990s, Mix magazine, had offices in the former Jelly Belly building on Hollis Street in Emeryville, California.[6][7]
In 1994, Mix Publications, was sold to Cardinal Business Media, in Philadelphia.[6]
