Definitely would be a good seminar or convention. Suggestion
-- check out how digital photography
was introduced to the newspaper business. Nikon, for
instance, is very good at training "schools"
for both pro and consumer users. My boss and I went to the
advanced digital photography "school"
session and learned a variety of ways to handle digital
imagery better and faster. While Nikon likes
to try and sell you things, we didn't feel the need to get
any new software or equipment but learned
all sorts of Photoshop tricks and were fortified with just
some basic knowledge about how digital
imagery works and thus how and why certain techniques produce
certain results. I'm sure there were
much more in-depth kinds of sessions for photojournalists and
photo editors.
What we're talking about here is really very akin to this.
We're moving audio and moving pictures
from obsolete analog media to digital and we need to address
new storage and quality issues, much
like the entire print media business needed to accept and
address digital imagery.
Bottom line point is, ARSC probably doesn't need to invent
the wheel here, just splice in already
established ideas and topics and customize to audio. Bits is
bits and all this digital capture and
storage stuff is similar.
