Using Ubuntu Studio, Ardour, and GitHub for music collaboration
summary
Lorenzo's Music uses Ubuntu Studio and Ardour with a GitHub repo workflow—creating a new branch per recording session, pushing WAVs via Git LFS (about $5/month) and sharing bootable USB images so every contributor has the same plugins and routing. During the pandemic this workflow produces and mixes an album's worth of songs remotely, stores multitrack takes and plugin settings as readable project files, and reliably yields more releases than pre-shutdown studio runs.
