Yes, I do use a different directory for audio. C:\MP3\aaaaaa\bbbbb
Where aaaaaa is the name of the artist and bbb is the name of the song. BTW, the files are actually .WAV files. Originally I started using MP3's, but then I saw that everyone suggested using .WAV files so I converted all of my MP3's to WAV files.

Cam, do you have the music file in "some other directory" instead of the Aurora Audio folder? Perhaps the combined character length of file path and name are too long?

A lot of the weird errors I seemed to get only occurred whenever I updated Aurora, opened the newer version, then selected backup workspace. Those issues seemed to go away once I started opening sequences normally. Try opening the file, saving it, restarting Aurora, then selecting the backup workspace. Does it still freeze?

So I'm still getting this in 1.0.32...
I tried to use the backup wrkspace on restart of Aurora, not the OS and I get stuck on "Opening Table: Events"

Aurora is supposed to be able to open files from 0.2, but it has not been tested or verified. 0.2 was "early beta" and as such contained a lot of file corruption bugs. The newer version may not be liking something in the file that once simply wasn't enforced. Additionally the "draw objects" table was altered around 0.7 to better suit the circle based prototypes. Once again, Aurora is supposed to be able to load the old table and convert it internally, but a file/save will be required before the file is actually usable by the scheduler.

I haven't been able to replicate it with my older sequences, so I'd like to try it with yours. I'll send you PM on D-Light's site with my info. |

I remember doing that to the music as well, and I recall that workaround was successful for me too. The hard part is in figuring out what generates the error. Once we know that, a fix can be made. Regarding becoming a beta tester, Micheal posted about this a while back. |

I can duplicate the problem everytime. However, I believe it is related to something on the computer (in my case my laptop which has visual studio installed on it).
1) You need two computers. I'm using a laptop and a desktop. I keep the same file structure on both computers.
2) Create a sequence on the desktop and save it.
3) Copy the sequence file to the laptop.
4) On the laptop open up the sequence file and it hangs in decompiling mode forever.
HOWEVER, I do know how to get around this issue so it does not lock up on me any longer. Before opening the sequence file, change the name of your music file directory. Aurora will then get to the decompiling but can't find the music file. It then prompts me for the music file. I rename the direcotry back and then select the file within aurora. It loads the music file just fine and everything else without locking up. I then save it and can reopen the sequence without any more problems.
Don't know if that helps you, but that is how I'm able to duplicate the problem and also able to get around the problem so it doesn't bother me any more.
BTW, I use my laptop to test the files with the lights outside and use my desktop to edit the files since it is much faster.
If you need a beta tester, let me know :)

Change.... YES ;) I'll be glad to post the sequence if anyone would like to give it a try.

Well, a lot has changed since 0.02. Heck, a lot has changed since 1.0 when I first got on the Aurora scene! Aurora now processes its information differently than before, and that requires the file to be saved (and sometimes reopened) before things work just right. The issue is that the bug occurs before you get the chance to save, and that's frustrating, I know. I'll try to duplicate the bug using my old backup 1.0 sequences, but as I recall it was a hit and miss type of thing.
