I am having trouble reordering tracks and buses using the “Tracks/Buses” pane. I have projects containing many (30+) tracks of audio only (no midi). I am not running any plugins, it is just bare audio without any post-processing (like panning or normalization).
Due to the number of tracks, I often want to reorder the list of tracks so that related tracks are grouped together. To do this, I move to the “Tracks/Buses” pane, and drag-drop the tracks into the order I desire. However, I’m having problems…
My problems fall into two categories:
[1] Drag-drop causes Ardour to crash. This problem intermittent, occuring around 30% of the time I try to drag-drop, and not necessarily with the same tracks. It doesn’t seem to be reproducable.
[2] When I add a new track, or when I change the name of an existing track, the list of tracks/buses is arbitrarily reordered. Each time I do this, it seems to choose a different ordering (I originally thought it would select chronological or alphabetic ordering, but neither is the case - it seems to be entirely random).
The problems are not tied to a particular project - it happens across all my projects.
Is anyone else having similar issues? Can anyone recommend some kind of fix or alternative for achieving reordering?
I run Ardour 2.1 (r.2496 from Kubuntu 7.10) with Jack an Freebob (same repos).
Cheers,
