# The GitHub for music Concept
Since **Ardour** is all controlled by a main code file and distributes the information and audio tracks to folders from that main file we realized that it could be version controlled with GitHub.

The band could share our sessions and create branches for each new track or idea using the the full Ardour sessions -- with audio and all!

These should be installed to recreate the actual version of the song we made, but the recording is still able to work without them, it will just sound different without these effects.
* **Calf** Plugins Effects. [https://calf-studio-gear.org](https://calf-studio-gear.org/). These are the EQ and compression effects. These are only available for Linux operating systems but some of them come pre-installed in Ardour. If you can't install them the songs will still play the original files without these efects.
* **Guitarix** The guitar pedal effects used on the tracks. Sadly these are only available for Linux. You can still play the files without them if you are on another operating system you will just hear the un altered sounds. - [https://guitarix.org](https://guitarix.org/)
* **LSP** Plugin Effects [https://lsp-plug.in/](https://lsp-plug.in/) We also use EQ and compression effects from the LSP Project.
