EQ’s Big Score
I realize that magazine personnel changes are probably
not the most exciting thing in the world to the
average reader, but there’s a reason I’m very, very
happy to announce that Sarah Jones has taken the
helm as EQ’s new Editor. I’ve known Sarah for
years, even before she became Editor of Mix magazine,
and in a few short weeks, she’s proven herself
to be a tremendous asset. Sarah’s a hands-on type
of person, and she lives what we cover—she’s on the
board of governors of the San Francisco chapter of
the Recording Academy (NARAS), works with the
TEC Foundation, and is active with many music and
recording nonprofits. She’s the author of the essential
career guide Assistant Engineer Handbook:
Gigs In the Recording Studio and Beyond
(Schirmer); she’s edited dozens of music and audio
books, and written hundreds of interviews and articles
about music recording, tour production, sound
for picture, and audio technology.
But what illuminates all her writing isn’t just a
journalist mindset—she’s been a musician for 30
years, and while saying “I like all kinds of music” is a
cliché, with her, it’s reality. Granted, her track record
would be enough to make her a perfect match for
EQ, but what’s really important doesn’t show up in a
bio: Attitude. Sarah is quick, smart, humorous, and
has a can-do attitude where she makes things happen—
and even makes it look easy.
Please join me in welcoming Sarah to the magazine,
because she’s going to help take EQ to
another level—and that’s good news for all of us.
