a while ago, i created ardour demo sessions for the openDAW project, and 
i was looking for a way to let people play with pretty much everything 
except the edits. so i created a full copy of my ardour session 
directory, used ardour2's "consolidate" feature to bounce all the messy 
edits into one single region per track, then got rid of all older 
snapshots. now i could clean up unused sources, and hey presto: a nice 
and concise session that gives a user maximum leeway in fiddling around.

if you want to play:
http://stackingdwarves.net/TIH.tar (guitar and saxophone duo)
http://stackingdwarves.net/MFV.tar (cheesy jazz sextet standard)

both are mixing to third-order ambisonics and use an UHJ encoder for 
stereo downmixing.
i abused ardour's session directory a bit, in that i added some session 
photos and copied all external config files in there as well (mainly for 
jconvolver), so that it contains pretty much everything you need to hear 
what i was hearing. there's also a shell script that probably won't work 
on most people's systems, but gives you an idea what programs i was 
using in addition to ardour2.
