Saving a **Snapshot** in Ardour is similar to saving your Session to a
|
|
new file, however using a Snapshot avoids overwriting the original
|
|
Session file. A Snapshot contains the current state of your work, while
|
|
sharing all the audio and data files of the Session.
|
|
|
|
## Saving a Snapshot
|
|
|
|
You can save a Snapshot via the menu: *Session > Snapshot* (shortcut "*Control*" + "*Shift*" + "*S*").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default the program will name the new Snapshot according to the
|
|
current date and timestamp of your system. If you wish, you can change
|
|
the name to one that more meaningfully corresponds to the Session you
|
|
are working on. From the menu, you can also choose whether to save
|
|
a snapshot and keep working on the present version, or save a snapshot
|
|
and switch immediately to that snapshot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Recalling Snapshots
|
|
|
|
You can recall a saved Snapshot via the '*Snapshots*' tab in the area on
|
|
the right:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There you see a few Snapshots that we created, and the '*my_session*' entry
|
|
represents the original state of our session.
|
|
|
|
Click on any Snapshot from the list to reload it.
|
|
|
|
## Continuing
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it is helpful to have a default starting point for new
|
|
Sessions, for example for a set-up that you use all the time when starting a new project. To learn how
|
|
to do this, please continue to the next session called **Saving a Template**.
