I started a new sequence to start learning the program. I have a sound file with 4 min of silence and a grey background jpg. Once the program started I tried to use the Bulk Channel editor. I also had not done a file save.Ouch  I get a popup window that contains "Run-time error '9'; subsrript out of range' When I click 'ok' the program just closes.

Thanks... I've added this to the bug list.
 
Edit: A fix for this is already out to the beta testers.

In addition to LCs's suggestion above, it is also possible to Shift any of the shortcut keys to select a tool with properties.  For ramp, this is "Shift R".  There are some odd bugs with the "recent" tool section in 0.3.0 (the 0-9 keys LC mentioned) that have been corrected for 0.4 which will be out very soon.
 
Drawing tools are undergoing an overhaul prior to 1.0.  Some of what has been requested above (and in another thread) will be in 1.0.  The rest will find its way into upcoming versions.

After right clicking on a channel and switching to the drawing mode, if you drag the cursor around on the audio track it puts a continuous stream of note indicators up to the point you can just wash out the whole sound track. It doesn't stay after you click done but it's kind of an interesting quirk.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 20:36:34 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=149&PID=963#963 0.3 Pre-Release : Suggested Functions http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=148&PID=962#962 Author: MrChristmas2000

It would be good to be able to draw a circle of lights (for wreathes, snow flakes etc) on the simulation page.

In addition to a circle an arch function would be desirable. This would allow you to assign various channels to segments of the arch.

It would be good to be able to zoom in on an area of the drawing while placing lights.

It would be good to be able to click on a light placement and delete just that segment or element without deleting a whole group.

Further it would be nice to be able to click on a light placement and move or change it's size.

Right-click on the ramp icon and you can change the start/end intensity, or anything in between for that matter.  All the effect icons have a righ-click function so you can modify them to varying extents.
 
After modifying an effect, you'll notice that a shortcut icon is created - a custom ucon if you will. Simply typing the the number from the keyboard or left-clicking on it will allow you to use it over and over.

There is a ramp down function button. Why isn't there a ramp up function?

Pause will probably find its way into a future version.  It hasn't been at the top of the features list for a couple reasons:

1) As mentioned, there are other ways to achieve a similar result
2) If pause were added today it would only be a placeholder.  Upcoming plans would result in the functionality being completely rewritten.  For faster development it is best to leave it out for now.

This is one area where Aurora departs from the "norm". There is no pause. Closest thing to it is to highlight the area of the sequence and playback. Takes some getting used to, but you'll eventually stop missing the pause function.
 
To highlight an area, simply move the cursor to the waveform area and left-click/drag along the timeline.
 
Playback can also be triggered via the spacebar.
