As the period began, the response to the virus’s spread was well underway, and countries around the world felt the effect of economically disruptive countermeasures. Stay-at-home orders and closures of non-essential businesses were imposed in many parts of the world, workers were laid off, and unemploy- ment claims spiked, causing a global recession. As May 2020 began, stocks had just begun to recover from the lowest point following the onset of the pandemic. This recovery continued throughout the reporting period, as businesses continued re-opening and governments learned to adapt to life with the virus. Equity prices rose through the summer, fed by Rob Kapito strong fiscal and monetary support and improving economic indicators. The implementation of mass President, BlackRock, Inc. vaccination campaigns and passage of an additional $1.9 trillion of fiscal stimulus further boosted stocks, and many equity indices neared or surpassed all-time highs late in the reporting period.

  • Letter from the Editor
    PRESENTS AUDIO v SolutionS LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear readers, Last month we began our new initiative to use this editorial space to introduce you to some of the members of our team who help support our customers, vision, vendors and the industry in general—the core values of GC Pro and Guitar Center. Last month you met Dinshah Sanjana, Buyer/Category Manager, Sofware, and this month I will be introducing you to Chris Hansen, Category Manager, Recording/iOS/GC Pro. Chris has a unique background and skill set that has put him in an ideal position to guide GC Pro and Guitar Center through some recent trends in recording technology. Afer helping run two radio stations in Seattle, Chris relocated to Boston, where he studied at the Berklee College of Music and graduated in 2005. Shortly afer that, he landed in L.A., where he opened a commercial recording studio. Chris notes, “The GC Pro customer is not easily pigeonholed. We have studio operators, producers, artists, broadcast professionals, system integrators, club owners, front-of-house engineers for touring acts and houses of worship, and more. I suppose my background touches on each of those different market sectors, so I am lucky to understand the needs for nearly every type of individual who seeks out our services. And as someone who is recording and producing artists and using equipment on a regular basis, I have an intimate perspective on the practical application of emerging technologies and how people are making music out there in the real world.” In his capacity with GC Pro and GC, Chris is tasked with making decisions about what products Guitar Center carries in our retail stores, along with finding the appropriate ways to market those products in GC’s print, web and broadcast vehicles.
