<p>The Session is the fundamental document type that is created and modified by the Ardour workstation. A "Session" is a folder on your computer filesystem that contains all the items that pertain to a particular project or "recording/editing/mixing session".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Session folder includes these files and folders:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> The main session snapshot (session_name.ardour)
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> Any additional snapshots (filenames ending in ardour)
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> the auto-backup snapshot (session_name.ardour.bak)
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> the undo history for the session (session_name.history)
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> the instant file (instant.xml) which records the last-used zoom scale and other metadata
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> a folder called "interchange" which holds your raw audio and MIDI files (whether imported or recorded)
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> a folder called "export" which contains any files created by the "Export" function
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> a folder called "peaks" which contains a waveform rendering of each raw audio file in the session
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> a folder called "analysis" which contains transient and pitch information of each raw audio file
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> a folder called "dead sounds" which contains sounds which Ardour has detected are no longer used in the session
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>A session combines some setup information (such as audio and MIDI routing, musical tempo & meter, timecode synchronization, etc.) with one or more Tracks and Buses, and all the Regions and Plug-Ins they contain.</p>
