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 ;-)

Well...OK. I'd suggest subscribing to

if you use IRC then visit #ardour on

Ok.
Okay, I just
thought it freezed or something so I restarted
first
ardour and then the
whole computer. I can playback other projects or
newly created ones. I just
cannot play this specific project.
It's pretty tough to guess what may be happening. More
information is needed. When you open the session with
Ardour, do you get a popup window Error Log? If yes,
please post the contents here.
I get no errors.
If there's no error log, then perhaps
you've lost the
routing for that session. I don't know what you mean
by "replay" the song. Does the playhead move and do
you see levels in the channel meters? If yes, check
Exactly this is the problem: By "replay" I mean pressing the play button. If I
do this exactly nothing happens besides the play button turning yellow.
That version of Ardour is pretty old. I'm not
a Debian
user so I can't help with any of upgrade issues. I was
I've upgraded from Debian stable to testing to get newer packages and now it
turns out this is too antique as well... I should give Demudi or unstable a
try...
gonna suggest you upgrade but you are new to
linux
that might not be the best advice. If that version of
Ardour has the features you need for learning and
working on your sessions don't bother. A 1.0 stable
release is expected soon enough that you could wait
for it.
I guess I'll have to wait for this. A pity, I just fell in love with those
Mellotron choirs I recorded and no I cannot listen to them :)
Thanks,
