--- layout: default title: Where are Sessions Stored? ---

Sessions are stored in a single folder on your computer's filesystem.

The first time you run Ardour, you will be asked where you would like the default location for sessions to be, with the initial choice being your home folder.

You can change it in that startup dialog, or later via Edit > Preferences > Misc > Session Management. You can also specify a particular (different) location for a session when creating it, in the New Session dialog.
