The annual ARSC Conference in 2010 took place in New Orleans and was hosted by The Historic New Orleans Collection, the Louisiana State Museum, and the Tulane University's Hogan Jazz Archive.

Rob Poretti, Cube-Tec's North American sales engineer presented a paper entitled 'DOBBIN CASE STUDIES: PROCESSING WORKFLOWS IN AUDIO ARCHIVING'. The paper presented Cube-Tec's range of applications that cover parallel ingest, automated quality control, automated derivative generation, metadata focused workflows, and complete end-to-end archive solutions.

Activities related to the creation and management of digital audio files for any archive can be demanding. A wide range of possibilities may be encountered, each with its own set of challenges: ingest, metadata workflows, quality control, multi-derivative generation, security, reporting, etc. Dobbin provides the widest set of applications currently available, all focused on the workflow requirements for audio archivists. This presentation examines the Dobbin infrastructure and how it connects to both Cube-Tec products and other information technologies. It examines approaches to leverage automated workflows in order to alleviate repetitive tasks during ingest and post-processing activities - with the goal of maximizing efficiencies and minimizing human error. Workflow processes from numerous Cube-Tec clients are explored in detail, discussing solutions to their own workflow challenges.
