is your song a wav or mp3? Mp3's tend to make the sequence make funny sounds in the spectrometer

| I converted them to wav.. there is just a big smear at the end and then it just stops a few seconds before the song is really over |

The spectrogram will be as long as the file is. Therefore if you are seeing a weird "smear" at the end, then your first step is to check on the wave file itself using another program (just not the one you used to make it). If the file looks ok and it plays fine on another program such as windows media player, you could go to the cache folder in Aurora and delete any wav files. Aurora will automatically extract the file again the next time the sequence is opened. Failing that, if this started off as a shared sequence, try using a longer file to see if there is an issue with the sequence itself, then revert back to the original file once you have eliminated any phantom commands. ------------- ~Jonathan |

I too have seen this "smear" on the end of a wav file. I can't seem to find a cause for it either. The file is question is newly "ripped" to a wav file and then immediately used as a wav file for Aurora.
I tried ripping on a different PC however still had the same result. It does not seem to change the output or timeline, instead it shows up as a blue bar accross the spectrogram area. Timeline placement must be guessed as there is no reference points.

yes it was newly ripped and then used just so you know.. when I switched over to amplitude it looked fine.. better than nothing and guessing |

I see the 'smear' in every file I convereted to .wav using Audacity. It's obnly the very end and doesn't really cause a problen other than the appearance -------------

Ok, I see it now. Use Audacity and add a second of silence at the very end of the song. That way when the spectrogram stops at the new end you'll be able to see the markings that were once "smeared" and can place events easier. ------------- ~Jonathan |
