Well I have been running Ardour on Debian for at least 2 yrs. And have found it very reliable. I have had crashes similar to yours. Mine were usally caused by a corrupted routing/config file. But I have NEVER lost any audio data. Which is the main reason I run Ardour. Looking at an old session there are 2 files that I would look at. SessionName.ardour and SessionName.ardour.bak. I have had some luck with restoring the session by copying the backup file SessionName.ardour.bak to SessionName.ardour. And when worse come to worst, I would just import the audio files into a new session. You could also try "diff SessionName.ardour SessionName.ardour.bak". And remember Your Mileage May Very ;-) On Sun, 2004-07-11 at 06:04, Sebastian Stark wrote: > On Sunday 11 July 2004 01:01, R Parker wrote: > > Well...OK.
