maybe this can sheds some light on my amazement with ecasound. I came to
linux and ecasound after a few years of using a fairly limited 8-track
shareware mixer called soundsculptorII on MacOS 8. As an example of the
limits I worked with there, panning could only be set statically for
each track, so If I wanted to move something around the stereo field I
had to cut and paste bits and pieces into different tracks. By
comparison ecasound is beyond comparison.

Yeah, my transport just stopped working. I'd
press "Play" and the
play button would highlight, but the cursor wouldn't move and no
sound would he heard. Then I'd press "Stop" and both play and stop
buttons were highlighted. By that time, I was too frustrated to try
and get the problem fixed, so I just imported the raw tracks into
Audacity and remixed them.
I hate to tell you this... but all that probably
happened was that
Ardour lost connection with JACK. Save in Ardour and quit, then
restart JACK and start Ardour again and you probably would have been
right where you left off. (Listens for the distant wail of Ultimate
Suffering </princessbride>)
IMHO, Ardour makes some choices that make it
more
difficult, at least for someone who is corrupted with a Windows
background :-)
That's sort of like having to unlearn BASIC before learning a
structured
programming language!!
I started using Ardour after a few years of using Windows & n-track.
A big learning curve, but I'm glad I climbed it.
