confirmed. line 693 in the session XML there is Region name="Abendbrotmacher stimmen.44" .. length="9223372036854454464" at 44100SPS. That's about 6632000 years worth of audio :) How that happened is a different question (that number is 2^63 - 2, a signed/unsigned integer bug in 3.5.403; which has meanwhile been fixed in Ardour 4) The immediate issue (memory exhaustion) however is Ardour calculating Bar/Beat time until the end of the Universe... Short of editing the session file manually, you can load another session (or create a new one), change both clocks to display "Timecode" (right click on the clock) and then load Abendbrotmacher without closing Ardour. |

Thank you, I can confirm that loading the project after setting both clocks to 'timecode' is working. So should I update to Ardour 4 or will this bug be fixed in 3.5.403 too? |

Ardour 4.X is the continuation of Ardour 3.5.X. There won't be any further Ardour 3.X releases. |

I'm glad it helped, after resizing or deleting the offending region the session should continue to work with 3.5.403 regardless of the clock setting. Ardour 4 won't reasonably load this session either as long as the region is a couple of eons long, but the bug leading to this is no longer present (at least one bug that we knew could cause was fixed). I'm setting this bug to closed. If you still manage to produce invalid regions with ardour 4.1, please file a new bug report. |
