There are a number of ways to save Sessions in Ardour, so that each Session can be use later on. The simplest way is to save the entire Session just like you would save other documents: hitting “Control” + “S”.
Exporting is the process of saving a Region, Track, or entire Session to a file on your computer which you can listen to, burn as a CD-R, or convert to an MP3 to share on a website.


A new Session is first saved at the moment you create it. While you are working on it, you should save it frequently. Get into the habit of hitting “Control” + “S” (or “Command” + “S” on a Mac) every few minutes.
=导出整个会话=


    TIP: Avoid using any characters other than letters and numbers when naming your session. Avoid white spaces, accented letters, !@#$%*()+, periods, commas, etc. Use dashes or underscores if you like. For example, instead of “My Great Session!”, prefer “My_Great_Session”, or “MyGreatSession”, or “my-great-session”. Instead of “Açaí”, write “Acai” (without accented letters), etc. Once you have created your Ardour session, do not manually rename any folders or files that belong to the Session.
Once you have finished your composition, the most common export operation is to export the entire Session to an audio file.


==Ardour File and Folder Format==
==Bird’s Eye View of Entire Session==


The contents of a typical Session’s folder on your hard drive might look something like this:
At this point it’s a good idea to Zoom Out and take a look at your whole session before exporting.


http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Session_Folder_Structure.png
    Select “All” from the menu “Number of visible tracks”:


A bit of information about some of the components inside that folder:
http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Track_Height.png


     The name of this Session is “my_session”.
     Click on the “Zoom to Session” button (third button in the Zoom Options):
    The main session file is called “my_session.ardour”. The Session file is periodically backed up by Ardour with a .bak extension.
    The .history file keeps a record of changes you have made during your Session, and is also periodically backed up.
    The interchange folder contains the actual audio data of all the Regions used in your Session.
    The export folder is where exported files are saved by default.


    TIP: If double-clicking on the session file does not launch Ardour, use the standard method of first opening the application itself, then choosing a session from the Session Setup dialog.

    You should now have a nice overview of your whole session, like this:


==Moving a session to another computer or disk==
http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Export_Session_Birds_Eye_View.png


If you need to move your Ardour session to another computer, or if you would like to make a backup of it on an external drive, you must copy the entire folder containing all of the files mentioned above. It is not enough to copy just the *.ardour file.
Listen to your piece one last time and make sure you hear everything the way you want (any Solo or Mute button you forgot to deactivate? Any volume adjusment left to do? etc.)


    TIP: When copying an Ardour folder to another computer or drive, do not manually change its name or the name of any of the internal files.
===Start and End Markers===

Finally, make sure the Start and End markers are in the right place.
[http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/saving-a-snapshot/ (原文)]


Saving a Snapshot in Ardour is similar to saving your Session to a new file, however using a Snapshot avoids overwriting the original Session file. A Snapshot contains the current state of your work, while sharing all the audio and data files of the Session.
http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Export_Session_Start.png http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Export_Session_End.png


==Saving a Snapshot==
Everything included between the Start and End Location Markers in the Timeline will be exported, so you have to set the markers first if they are not in the correct position. In the image below, clearly the End marker is too far to the right in the timeline. This will result in a huge silence after the end of the piece (that is, between the last Region and the End marker).


You can save a Snapshot via the menu: Session > Snapshot (shortcut “Control” + “Shift” + “S”).

http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Snapshot_Menu.png
If your End marker is too far after the end of your piece, click and drag it to the left until it is pretty close to the end of the very last Region of your composition.


By default the program will name the new Snapshot according to the current date and timestamp of your system. If you wish, you can change the name to one that more meaningfully corresponds to the Session you are working on. From the menu, you can also choose whether to save a snapshot and keep working on the present version, or save a snapshot and switch immediately to that snapshot.

http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Snapshots_Name.png
To Export a Session, use the top menu: Session > Export > Export to Audio File(s)…. This will open up a dialogue box with several options.


==Recalling Snapshots==
http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Export_Session_Window_1.png


You can recall a saved Snapshot via the ‘Snapshots’ tab in the area on the right:
    *Preset: this is NOT where you write the file name. Don’t worry about this field now.
    *Format: this allows you to choose the file format (WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, etc.). The default is CD (Red Book), which will give you a WAV file.
    *Add another format: if you’d like to export in more than one format at the same time, click on this tab.
    *Location: this is the place where you will find the file after it is saved. By default, it is in the “export” folder that lives inside your main Session folder. You could also click “Browse” and select the Desktop, for example.
    *Label: THIS is where you can create a unique name for the file. Ardour will automatically append the session name to the exported file, so if you don’t write anything here the name may end up something generic like “my-session.wav”. Use this field to give a unique name to your file.


http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Snapshot_List.png
Having chosen your options, click Export. After the operation is finished, you can find the file using your file browser.


There you see a few Snapshots that we created, and the ‘my_session’ entry represents the original state of our session.
    TIP: Export is handled through the Master Bus, so the final file will include all the sounds from Tracks and Busses that were routed to it. This will include any Normalizing, Fading, Panning, and Automation you have created, along with the individual edits made to the Regions as well. If any of the Tracks have the Mute or Solo buttons engaged, this will also affect which Tracks will be heard in the Exported file.


Click on any Snapshot from the list to reload it.

If you often go through the motions of setting up the same information in each new Session you create, such as the number of input and output Channels, the number and names of Tracks or Busses, or the Routing, then you may wish to create a Template of that information instead.
 
With a Template, you can save the state of a currently open Session without all the Region information files. Templates are useful if, for example, you’re doing extensive Routing on Tracks and Buses and want to save the Editor Window’s state for use in other Sessions. An example might be a Template to record Tracks of drums, bass, guitar and vocals, each with their own input on the soundcard, which you might use as a basis for each Session you created in that situation.
 
==Save a Template==
 
You can save a new Template from the Main Menu: Session > Save Template. You are asked to give the new Template a name:
 
http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Save_Template_1.png
 
==Load a Template==
 
When creating a new Session, you get can now load up a previously saved Template:
 
http://brunoruviaro.github.io/ardour4-tutorial/images/Ardour4_Save_Template_2.png
 
In summary: Session Templates are a way to store the setup of a session for future use. They do not store any audio data but can store:
 
    The number of tracks and busses, along with their names.
    The plugins present on each track or bus (if any).
    All I/O connections.
 
==Conclusion==
 
Congratulations, you have reached the end of this introduction to Ardour! We hope that this tutorial has been useful for you to learn the key functions of Ardour.
 
In the following section, the Appendices, we have included some extra information we thought would be useful to new users of Ardour, including how to get Further Help, a Glossary of technical terms used in this manual, some Links to further information about Ardour on the Internet and, last but not least, the Credits of those involved in creating this Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) Manual.
 
Thanks for reading, and if you have some knowledge about Ardour that is not included here, please feel free to propose changes (more info on how to do it: How to Contribute. Also, this manual itself is fully open source and lives at https://github.com/brunoruviaro/ardour4-tutorial. You can even fork it and create your own customized version of it!
