1. Start Aurora

2. Create New

3. Give sequence title

4. Give Author

5. Select MP3 from aurora's auio dir

6. Select JPG from aurora's root

7. Import channels from another (YES)

 

All of the progress bars go by, close, then nothing more.

When I mouseover where the audio would be, it does not clear out the notes as I move around.

The aurora process is 100% CPU

Channels finnaly showed up on mouseover.

I tried to add lights but they did not show.

I accepted light changes, and then the audio was displayed.

Cannot play.

selected a start location, cannot play audio.

selected a play section, cannot start audio.

When to View -> Properties

Cancel.

 

Aurora just closes. No errors. Just gone. There is a *ding*. Like the XP, you can't do that ding.

 

I'll do some testing and see if I can determine what causes the lockup.

Rebooting to see what happens.

 

I'll watch it and see if I notice anything funny around the time that I'm playing with Aurora.

I changed it from 0->100 to 100->0, then update didn't do anything, couldn't close the window. nthing, no escape, nothing.

 

I went into task manager and killed the app, on start, I have the same thing that I started with. Won't load the audio, won't play.

 

Saw another bug.

1. Start Aurora

2. Create New

3. Cancel

 

Aurora exits without any error.

 

This was never seen during any of the beta testing or pre-release versions.  The only thing that changed between 0.7.2 and 1.0.0 was the version number, but alas you aren't the only one reporting this problem and even I have seen it in the lab once on a laptop after switching from the built in display to an external monitor.

 

Right now our highest priority is on getting the Vista install issues sorted out, so please be patient with us... we will get to this issue soon.

 

I've just had another oddity. I was sequencing perfectly for an hour, then I sat back and watched TV for ~10 min? When I went back to Aurora, it was at 100% cpu utilization.

The only thing that I did in that time was read some posts here and watch some tv.

I bet that after I kill Aurora, I'll have my original problem again and I'll have to reboot.

 

BUT, let me reitterate, that I am happy with Aurora, and it is much better than most other EARLY version 1 software that I've seen. There's no huge time crunch. You're busy fixing. My issures are small and not widespead. I know how it goes.

I'm stuck on "Decompiling Data..." cpu is back at 100%

Interestingly, explorer is using a bit more cpu than normal now.

Screen refresh rates are very slow now.

Could something in the display be getting stuck in some loop? not releasing ram?

A reboot should fix.

 

I got that same decomp lockup like 4-5 times today while opening my sequence.   It took 2 reboots to clear it the 1st time. Wierd thing is that I could click on everything, the pull down menus, the draw function switched to the draw screen even with the decomp locked in place.  the program wasn't locked up.    The last time it happens, I got up and came back like 5 minutes later and it finished what ever it was doing and the sequence was open.

 

Yep, MP3s here. Still somewhat in the "playing" mode. But if it works, it's just esier to copy over the MP3s from the main music directory to the audio dir.

 

Now, I had rebooted, opened Aurora, saw that it worked fine, the closed it out. I shut the lid on the laptop...

Hour or so later, I'm going back in to sequence more and I'm stuck at "Decompiling" again.

 

reboot time.

Ben mixing trying to replicate it while doing my first sequence.

 

I've been sequencing for an hour or so, then went and started IE, checked web-mail, and came to the forums. Sent an email reply, then went back to Aurora...

It was at 100% cpu. It's just weird.

 

Forcing "sleep" mode had no effect on Aurora. That is not to say that "Hibernate" may not cause a problem. Cannot test that here.

 

With IE/Firefox and Aurora running in visualizer playback mode, system useage never exceeded 70%. This is with a dual-core pentium notebook with 1GB Ram and scalable vid ram.

I've bee sequencing for another hour, then talked with my wife, with Aurora minimized for half an hour, then cheked email, then went back. I added a ramp, realised it was backwards, so I did SHIFT+R and could not close that popup.

I just can't put my finger on it though.

 

I'm on a Gateway Laptop, 1.7Ghz, 1G Ram, 27.7G free HDD, XP w/ SP3, ATI Mobility Raedon X600 SE.

 

I was sequencing, with an audio section highlit.

Audio was not playing, not paused.

 

Start playback of your sequence and then hit play again to put Aurora into looping mode.  Let it keep on looping for a long time.  Let me know if the problem still comes up or not.

 

It sounds like an unusual test but I'm trying to determine if the issue is coming up during workspace backup or not (workspace backup will not happen during playback).

 

If I import channels (and it shouldn't as how I want to import), it looks as though Aurora thinks about getting the channel data, then nothing. I'm still at the Create/Cancel/New Sequence screen.

 

If I do not import channels, Everything loads, but I get nothing in the waveform area, no grid, and I cannot do anything. I'd basically a null project.
