Not really feedback, but what happens if you export a QT ref with audio
mixdown?
Does the Wave also has these problems?
(If so, i definitly will not update...)

Subject: [Avid-L2] Serious audio mixdown bug in v6...
Hello everyone,
I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, so I thought I would share my
experience with you. Last night I was mixing down a 90-minute show for ESPN
(A1/A2 Stereo Pgm, A3/A4 mix minus v/o) and this AM my producer discovered
occasional errors in the mixdown.
Our announcer voices some segments after-the-fact and emails us MP3 files
which are imported. In a few places, PART of his audio was missing from the
audio mixdown. It would pick up after a bit, but it was always the start of
the edited clip that was missing, and always JUST the mp3 file.
So, I called it in to Avid and logged a case number. In the meantime, you
can try to recreate the issue if you so desire.
1) Create a 720p/59.97 project.
2) Import an mp3
3) Edit about 6 seconds of the audio file into a new timeline.
4) Stretch the timeline out so that it is 18 seconds, either by adding
non-mp3 audio like AIFF or captured sound from tape.
5) Do a stereo audio mixdown. You should see that everything works as
expected.
6) Now make the timeline 30 seconds and do a new mixdown. You should see
that the MP3 drops out of the mixdown for about the first 3.5 seconds.
It's always possible that this is operator error, but I think not. I was
able to recreate the problem on both a Mac and PC running Media Composer
software version 6.0.
Your feedback is welcome.
This is a pretty big deal for us, because we generally trust the mixdown to
be the same as the component parts... and since it's one of the last steps
in our process, the critical listening has normally already happened by the
time we get to mixdowns. This bug means we will have to scrutinize each V/O
insert carefully to ensure inclusion.
