<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.

use. Note that this option does not appear until you have saved at
