- Sometimes you will want to save a snapshot of the current state of a session for possible - use in the future. For example, you may be about to change the entire - arrangement of a piece, or drastically alter the signal processing, and - want a reference to come back to, should that not work out. -

-

- This is easily accomplished using Session > - Snapshot. - A small dialog will appear, allowing you to enter a name for the snapshot. - The default name is based on the current date and time.
- You can create any number of snapshots. -

-

- Creating a snapshot does not modify your session, - nor does it save your session. Instead, it saves an alternate version - of the session, within the session folder. The snapshot shares all data - present in the session. -

-

- After creating a snapshot, you can continue working on the session and - save it normally using Session > Save and any - existing snapshots will remain unchanged. -

- -

Switching to a Snapshot

-

- If you are already working on a session and want to to switch to an - existing snapshot, navigate the Snapshots tab of the - Editor List. - Find the name of the snapshot in the list and click it. Ardour will switch - to the snapshot. If there are unsaved changes in the current session, Ardour will - ask what you want to do. -

- -

Starting Ardour With a Snapshot

-

- Since a snapshot is just another session file stored within the session - folder, you can specify that "version" when loading an existing session. - The browser in the "Open Session" dialog will show an expander arrow for - sessions that have more than 1 session file (i.e. snapshots) present - — click on it to see the list, and then click on the name of the - snapshot you want to load. -

- -

Saving and Switching to a Snapshot

-

- Sometimes you may want to create a snapshot and then have all future - edits and modifications saved to that snapshot rather than the main - session. This is easily done using Session > Save - As. This does not create a new session folder, but saves your - session as a new snapshot and then switches the "current snapshot" - to the newly created one. All subsequent saves of the session will - be stored in this new snapshot, and existing snapshots (and the main - session) will be left unaffected. -
