Session file corrupted out of nowhere, lost all work

Session seems to have randomly corrupted. Is there any way to recover it? Most of the data looks like it’s there in the XML. This happened after recovering from a crash, and that crash occured while moving a region horizontally.

I’ve uploaded the session file here: Download urg1.ardour | LimeWire

limewire.com appears to have some certificate problems.
I get
Connecting to limewire.com (limewire.com)|104.22.36.240|:443… connected.
OpenSSL: error:0A000419:SSL routines::tlsv1 alert access denied

Can you upload the file somewhere else?

You’ve hit the known Ardour 8.10 bug, where it calculates the region lengths incorrectly in some circumstances.

If you run Ardour from the command line (cmd prompt) you should be able to see these errors :

Region DETOUR@114-87.8 has length a4611686017925627903@a501760000 which is longer than its (first?) source’s length of a2007038040
Region Crash2.4 has length a521058460@a4689526140 which is longer than its (first?) source’s length of a521056200

If you open your urg1.ardour in Notepad and replace a4611686017925627903 with a2007038040 and a521058460 with a521056200 you should be able to open the session again.

Ardour 8.11 has a fixe that prevent these things from happening in new sessions and 8.12 will, from what I understand, correct the errors in older sessions as well.

This seems to have worked, thank you very much
