Hi James,

What file format it it?
Can you share the file and/or provide information about the specific
file (e.g. sndfile-info /path/to/the_file.wav)?

Looking at Ardour's waveform display there is no gap. The part that
you've highlighted is not silent, only very low volume.

Could it be that there is some meta-data in the file that specifies a
start-offset, that is ignored by Ardour?

ciao,
robin
