Hi,
I just installed Ardour 3.5 a few hours ago in Ubuntu studio 12.04. I recorded a track, exported it and it went fine.
Then I had to figure out how to mount an sd card (which is another issue in ubuntu) so that I could export directly to it. Apparently, after I did this, ardour can’t export anymore. It just stays stuck on “exporting timespan 1 of 1”. A file is created in the folder (on the harddisk) but it doesn’t get bigger than a few bytes.
These problems are generally believed to be caused by the version of JACK that you have installed on your system OR (in a few cases) by the presence of plugins that use multiple threads and are not compatible with faster-than-realtime processing. There are not very many such plugins, so I would guess that it is probably the version of JACK.
I didn’t install extra plugins, so I would exclude that possibility.
What do you mean by the version of jack? The difference between jackd, jackd1 or jackd2?
It appears that when I try to export a certain range. The playhead goes up to the first range-marker and then everything stops.
