 \begin{abstract}
 \begin{contentsmall}
-This is a \LaTeX\ sample for your paper. The abstract should comprise
-50-100 words.
+Carla is a fully-featured audio plugin host with support for many plugin formats,
+featuring automation of plugin parameters via MIDI CC, remote control over OSC, among others.
+This workshop plans to give a quick overview of Carla and go through some workflows together with the audience.

 \section{Introduction}
 
-This is a model document. Don't use fonts smaller than this
-one (Times 11), and don't forget to leave it in A4 (21 x 29.7~cm).
+The first part of the workshop is a quick personal introduction, followed by a small musical demo.
 
-\section{Section}
+The demo features a MIDI sequencer to generate events, but the entire output sound comes from Carla.
+It serves as a demonstration of what we can with it.
 
-Text\footnote{Text of note.}, note at end of page.
+\section{Overview}
 
+After showing a demo song, the workshop continues by a quick overview of Carla's features and its graphical interface.
 
-\subsection{Subsection}
+This will allow for those that don't know Carla yet to easily catch up on its current status.
 
-Text of the subsection with citations such as 
-\cite{Spa72}, \cite{Kay86} and \longcite{MosWal64}.
+\subsection{Features}

+First, we describe the main Carla features, to inform those that don't know the application yet.

+Next, we go through the most important elements of Carla's UI and explain what they do, and what they mean.
 
+We also describe the possible settings, and do a local scan for plugins (so we can actually use them).

+To get the audience acquainted with Carla, we will first load a few plugins and have them make some sound.
+We introduce managing plugins and connections here.

+\subsection{Rack Mode}
 
-\section{Section}
+One of the main features of Carla is the Rack mode.

+\subsection{Modular Side-chain}
 
-\section{Conclusions}
+Modular setups make it easy to setup side-chains.
+
+We will quickly go through one of these, using what we learned so far.
+
+\subsection{Carla as a plugin}
+
+Carla works as a plugin, not just a standalone application.
+
+We will show some possible use-cases for this feature, showing Carla running inside Carla and in regular DAWs.
 
-Concluding text.
+\subsection{Remote OSC Control}
 
-\section{Acknowledgements}
+OSC is a common protocol used to control audio applications remotely.
+Carla-Control can be used to control a remote Carla instance over the network.
 
-Our thanks go to \ldots .
+We will connect two Carla instances together, running on different systems.
+
+\section{Questions}
+
+We reserve a space at the end of the workshop for questions from the audience.
+
+\section{Conclusions}
 
-\bibliographystyle{acl}
-\bibliography{sample}
+We conclude the workshop with a thank you to the audience.
