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@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users <hr />Envoie un sourire, fais rire, amuse-toi! <a href='http://www.emoticonesgratuites.ca/?icid=EMFRCA120' target='_new'>Employez-le maintenant!</a></body> </html>
