<li>Before you start configuring Ardour Session Exchange, make certain that you '''have an Ardour session on your computer to share'''. Also, '''note the pathname to your Ardour session directory''' that you want to share.[[Image:session-ex2.png|thumb|350px|right ]]</li>
<li>Next, you need to give yourself a username so other members will be able to identify you. Click on the '''edit''' menu, and select '''preferences'''. Type in a username for yourself (I have used the username ''msaul'' just as an example), and then click '''OK'''.</li>
<li>We need to create a session for sharing purposes. In this way, we can focus on a particular session until we complete our project.</li>
<li>You have two choices: Create Session (start a new session, and open in Ardour to create a song, then save, and collaborate with other user), or Add Session (specify the pathname to an already existing Ardour session).</li>
<li>For this tutorial, we will create a new Ardour session to be shared.</li>
