whoa! I didnt want to start a war of words here...All I wanted is some answers from fellow musicians.  But this is more an ardour issue than a ubuntu studio issue.   its just that ardour crashes when I start the cleanup tool.
 
dont get me wrong too, the result I got from the ardour/hydrogen/jamin trio were good enough to make me consider reformatting my drive alltogether and forget that horrible windows environment forever.  
 
the only thing is if  I cant copy one song folder on one DVD, and I cant split the folder without messing up ardour, then how am I supposed to backup my work?
 
thanks in advance, greg.> -- > Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list> Ubuntu-Studio-users at lists.ubuntu.com> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
