Auditorium is a gorgeous musical puzzle - Time Waster
Oops, there goes my entire day! I just discovered an addictive new musical puzzle game called Auditorium, and I'm trying to play though all of the demo levels. Gameplay in auditorium is centered on a flow of "audiovisual particles" that you can direct by moving and resizing different objects that are available to you. The object is to direct the flow across musical audio containers, using arrows, attract and repel symbols, and any other special tools that pop up. The audio containers each represent a different piece of the music, and they get louder the more you fill them up with flow. To clear a level, you need to max out all of your containers, which brings the song together. There are multiple ways to solve each level -- right now, there are 3 acts, with 5+ levels each, and 20 total acts are being planned. Once you get into some of the more complex levels, you have to deal with multicolored flow, and even containers that need more than one color to fill up. It's challenging, but the freeform gameplay gives it good replay value.

Yep, me to. Act 3, level 4. I can get 3 of the containers filled, but never seem to hit the sweet spot where the fourth one will fill.
A very addicting game, with good music to go along with the flowing streams. I can see that this one will drive me nuts until I can figure it out.

Way to coincidental, my brother showed my this game on Thanksgiving and I was going to send an Email for a post on it but I see now that I do not have to.
@Sean M - I'm stuck on the Same Level as you, I have collectively tried for the solution for 2 hours.

I just passed 3:4. SPOILER ALERT.
Try splitting the stream by making the attractor really big, using part of the stream to hit the yellow on the left, and the other part to hit the yellow and the blue above. Then put the left arrow inside the attractor field, kind of on the bottom right, to hit the red.

I had everything except the left arrow's position, which was the key stone. It only get harder from here on out.

Level 2:5 SPOILER
The trick is to use the up arrow twice. Use it to push the stream up through the white box in the middle, then use the down arrow to get through the white box on the left. Now for the tricky part: use the right arrow to hit the bottom green box, pushing the stream back into the up arrow for the last two boxes.
