If you’re an Avid Media Composer user running off software only mode this update is very important. Media Composer 6 was causing Audio Underrun errors to pop up regardless of the audio content of the sequence if you weren’t using hardware. Up until today the fix has been to run the console and use a debug mode that would bypass the error. Trouble was that fix would cause the audio to drift out of sync when editing large complex sequences. Head over to the Avid download center to update.

More from the official announcement:

We have released “maintenance updates” for the 6.0/10.0 editing applications and they are now available on the Download Center as of today, February 7, 2012. Note that these maintenance updates are free for any customers who already own 6.0/10.0.

What is released:

· Media Composer 6.0.1 (Mac and PC)
· Symphony 6.0.1 (Mac and PC)
