However, I now have a very frustrating issue. I've successfully used Ardour for Location recording, but last Wednesday I went out on a job and Ardour would not start. I start Jack and then After selecting a session to open a few Ardour flash screens appear (Last one is "starting OSC" I think) then nothing happens. I was forced to reluctantly turn to my XP backup machine. Came home and everything worked OK. Put it down to a glitch. Went out on another job on Sunday: same thing happened. I finally worked out that as long as the home network is connected it works OK.Unplug the network and it won't start. When it fails I get the following message in Jack: subgraph starting at ardour timed out (subgraph_wait_fd=21, status = 0, state = Triggered, pollret = 0 revents = 0x0) 17:11:09.695 JACK connection graph change. subgraph starting at ardour timed out (subgraph_wait_fd=21, status = 0, state = Triggered, pollret = 0 revents = 0x0) 17:11:09.704 ALSA connection graph change. 17:11:09.718 JACK connection change. 17:11:09.731 ALSA connection change. I can only speculate that Ardour is trying to access something over the network from some previous session, but I can't imagine what. If you can offer me any helpin solving tis issue I shall be eternally grateful. At the moment the only solution I can see is a reload. If you need any log files please let me know which ones you would like to see. Many Thanks - Mike. </BODY> </HTML>
