I’m getting the error message - Could not create session in “C:\Users\user\Music\Projects\Ardour Test” - when trying to start a new session (‘Ardour Test’ was just what I called my project). My user account is the only one on the pc - it’s the administrator account - so I don’t think it’s a permission thing. It’s Vista 32 bit and I’m using Asio (not Jack) with an Echo Mia. Any ideas why it won’t let me create a session?
Does anyone have any input on this? It’s completely preventing me using Ardour. I’ve tried many different locations to create a session - no cigar. I’ve found threads that talk about this issue with relation to other OS’s but nothing with Windows.
Sadly the Windows releases are still very new, you may be running into a problem not experienced before. Out of curiosity, and a complete shot in the dark, can you create a session without a space in the name?
You may wish to get on IRC for help in troubleshooting this, but I am not sure how much support is available for the Windows builds at this time, sorry.
@bladerunner: I’m not running Windows but recently I did run into a similar error message on Linux when Ardour was not able to find a suitable audio device. Did you get to the window that is titled “Audio/MIDI Setup”? If so were there any devices listed to select from?
I tried Seablade’s suggestion but it didn’t work unfortunately. @mashworth - Yes, I get to the Audio/MIDI Setup page - I select my device> Asio > Asio Echo PCI - all looks fine then when I hit OK I get the error message.
