Corrupt Session using Ardour 8.10

[Reaw (Philippe)]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to open a session I worked on a session i worked on a few days ago, and Ardour (8.10) cannot load it properly due to “invalid or corrupt session”. Ardour probably crashed when I quit the session last time.

It seems linked to a a region called “BoomBoomRise compound-1.9 (1)”

I have tried looking into the .ardour file and saw that there are 2 regions with the this name

So I tried to delete them in the file, unfortunately it still says my session is corrupt afterwards
However no more mention of the problematic region

I am unsure what to do does anyone know what I can try?

Can you maybe upload the .ardour file? I can try this solution, maybe works:

Invalid or corrupt session state

How were you able to get the backtrace on the console? I tried using the debug version, but I couldn’t get GDB to give me a backtrace. Do I have to force Ardour to crash?
