I hate to tell you this... but all that probably happened was that
Ardour lost connection with JACK. Save in Ardour and quit, then
restart JACK and start Ardour again and you probably would have been
right where you left off. (Listens for the distant wail of Ultimate

That's sort of like having to unlearn BASIC before learning a structured
programming language!!
I started using Ardour after a few years of using Windows & n-track.
A big learning curve, but I'm glad I climbed it.
