John Storyk, Founding Partner and Principal of WSDG - Walters-Storyk Design Group has been responsible for designing over 3000 media and content creation facilities worldwide. Credits include Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios (1969); NYC’s Jazz At Lincoln Center and Le Poisson Rouge; broadcast facilities for The Food Network, ESPN, and WNET; major education complexes for NYU and Berklee College of Music, and many more.

John will talk about how the recording studio has changed dramatically in the past 10 years in ways that were at one time almost unpredictable. Both the business models and the studio designs, as well as equipment configurations are markedly different, with changes continuing to take place. The shift from large ‘all at once’ sessions to a file-based – shared mixing process has ushered in a new era of small, yet extremely powerful and highly flexible audio content creation environments.
