This is most probabably a beginner's question. Well actually a bunch of:
last monday i did a long recording session during our rehearsal. 6 Channels, one of the muted (we were using only 5). Interfaces were a 4 channel A&H ZEDi10 plus the two additional channel added in by zita-a2j.
I started a new take by just rewinding to the beginning (after running into problems when i wanted to close the session and start a new one).
When i reopen the sessions (with the exception of the 1st one) i get only one singal track. Ale the other tracks apperar empty.
Looking into the project shows something like that

Pleas note that with the exception of Take1, the 3rd channel is missing. That's the one i had muted. Loading the "Take21"-Channels into Audacity shows the expected signals on tracks 1,2,5 and 6, with the expected musical content. Track 4 (the bass) is empty. But Audacity really needs a stronger machine to mix down the remaining tracks.
So: how do i get my tracks back into ardour? Of a specific take?
And how do i avoid this mess in future sessions? I want to have one project for each recorded take (that was during a rehearsal). And no trouble with jackd or zita-a2j when ardour tries to disconnect.
