So far, I've been really enjoying playing with the app and I can't wait to get everything running.
I guess while I'm at it I have a question about disarming the routine. When I disarm Exorcist, the functions such as "Play If" "Reset if", "Triggers" "Resets", Etc. Stay grayed out and I cannot modify them. Is that by design on the 1.1.1.1 version? I noticed that in the demo video on the site, they go back to being able to be modified. _________________ Rev.

that should rectify itself when you get the Exorcist box, without the box what you have is just a demo copy, the box is the key that unlocks everything _________________ Bryan Davis

I'm having difficulty with the creation of the 7.1 audio so that the file will only play from one speaker. I have completed the steps to create the Mono and silent versions of my file.
The trouble I'm running into is when I'm trying to create the .avi version with the 7.1 encoded audio. I put the files as asked into the 7.1 encoding software, select the channel the sound should come through and then press the create file. The file it creates though is 0KB in size and cannot be played.
Is there something that I'm missing? _________________ Rev. Noch

The 7.1 sound file mixer is actually a piece of Microsoft software that I've added a GUI to, so I cant really pretend to know a lot about it.
Over the last couple of weeks I too have been using it and have found exactly the same problems, so, here are my observations
1) It doesn't work on Windows Vista, use XP!!
2) Audacity can make a silent mask but it isn't always the best way to do it, using Sound recorder to reduce the volume level is far more reliable.
3) make sure you convert the original sound file to mono and maybe 8 bit mono before you try making the silent mask from it. _________________ Bryan Davis

Hello again Phoenix.
1) Yes, I'm using Windows XP pro.
2) I've created the Silent mask in both Audacity and then also with the windows sound recorder. The windows recorder version was by turning down the volume as suggested in the instructions provided with exorcist. They both seem to create a file that is the correct length of silence. The Audacity one though is 0kb and the windows recorder one is the same size as the original file.
3) The file is mono. I'll need to double check if it's been changed to 8bit.
Thanks for the help as always. You guys are really great. _________________ Rev. Noch

When you open the sound file in sound recorder do a convert to a suitable format and save it, then make the silent mask again using sound recorder, this process ensures that both the sound and mask files share teh same pedigree.
the Audacity method does cause problems, and whilst being the easiest its not the best, I've always found the sound recorder method whilst a little clumsy gives the most consistent results.
