• Hook/attention grabber: With so many different ways of producing audio, shouldn’t there be one platform of production that is outright better than all the others? Surely there is one workstation that has all the bells and whistles to make the most superior music.
• The Big Idea: Logic Pro is a powerful and capable Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) yet Pro Tools remains the primary standard for the media production industry. Logic should replace Pro Tools as the industry standard.
• What’s in it for your audience? Explain why your topic is important or worth discussing. Any audio production has to be created using some sort of audio workstation. The two most common and commercially available are Pro Tools and Logic Pro. Any person who is involved with audio production at some level must be familiar with at least one of, if not both workstations.
• Why should your audience listen to you? Explain your ethos (credibility): I started working with DAWs and producing my own music when I was 18. I’ve had many years of experience using both workstations and plan to turn my amateur career into a professional career as a music producer.
