<title>Session Templates</title>
<para>
Ardour allows you to create templates that specify the number of tracks
and busses, the I/O configuration and other aspects of the session. When
creating a new session, you can specify a template and it will be
created to match the template settings. To create a template, you will
need to be working on an existing session. Make sure that the session is
setup to in exactly the way you would like the template to be. Choose
<menuchoice> <guimenu>Session</guimenu> <guisubmenu>Save
Template</guisubmenu> </menuchoice>.
</para>
<para>
To open the Save Template dialog enter a name for the template and click
<guibutton>Save</guibutton> or
<keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>S</keycap></keycombo> to store
the template using the current session configuration. Templates are
basically session files without any audio data references. They are
stored in your <filename>.ardour</filename> folder.

<title>Using a template</title>
<para>
When opening a new session, instead of leaving the <guibutton>New
setup</guibutton> button selected in the New Session dialog, click the
<guibutton>Use template</guibutton> button, and then click on the name
of the template you would like to use. Note that this option does not
appear until you have saved at least one template.
