IMPORTANT: The official system requirements have changed as of 6.1.

IMPORTANT: Metro Documents written with this version will NOT be readable in any version prior to Metro/Metro SE version 6.2.1!

IMPORTANT: This is a pre-release, meaning it has some bug fixes (and possibly features) that were deemed important enough to be released before it could be rigorously tested.

The following list includes changes to Metro, Metro SE and Metro LX. Some changes may not be applicable to specific products.

New to this version:

• New: Significantly improved use of CPU (as viewed by activity monitor), especially when in the background.
• New: Further Altivec (G4/G5) audio optimizations.
• New: optimization for drawing vu's in mixer window.
• New: optimization for drawing audio overviews in OS X.
• New: Whether a section's (or subsection's) longest track is looped is no longer determined by archived tracks. The longest track determines the duration of the section.
• New: Contextual Menu in the EFX window allows the user to trace inputs to and outputs from the effect or soft-synth. To use it, ctrl-click on the title bar in the EFX window.
• New: when loading documents with saved plug-ins Metro does a better job of displaying the name of the plug-in that is currently loading.
• New: Metro now defaults to auto MIDI thru on.

• Fixed: Metro was not properly configuring some AudioUnit plug-ins to multiple outputs. Multiple outs now work properly with plug-ins such as Battery and Phatmatik Pro.
• Fixed: There was a problem which could cause plug-ins output to become immediately silent instead of releasing naturally after the transport has been brought to a complete stop.
• Fixed: Count off did not work properly for Soft-Synth plug-ins.
• Fixed: It was possible in some circumstances that two effects would get set to the same cable creating some weird and undesirable sound effects.
• Fixed: Metro was not honoring the low and high controller range of the chasing dialog.
• Fixed: A bug prior to 6.2.1.1 in which chasing would not set the volume correctly because it was not being mapped through the master volume.
• Fixed: Metro no longer tries to configure Audio Units to 0 ins and 0 outs. This had no previously known bad affects but was totally unnecessary.
• Fixed: Changing the output of a soft-synth in the EFX window no longer leaves the vu in the mixer window hanging.
• Fixed: Metro was not always resolving soft-synth Program Name Lists properly. This could cause the list to be associated with the wrong plug-in.
• Fixed: a problem with introduced in 6.2 whereby Metro would crash if audio was dragged before anything was copied to the clipboard.
• Fixed: a problem whereby when drawing continuous audio data (such as volume or pan) for the first time, it would not appear or only partially appear.
• Fixed: a problem where upon drawing continuous data into an audio track, Metro would erroneously follow playback from the wrong time during the current cue iteration.
• Fixed: Metro was continously drawing the frame in the transport whether it had changed or not and this was unnecessarily using up CPU.
• Fixed: a problem whereby MIDI data was not always being copied underneath an audio selection during certain clipboard operations.
• Fixed: It was possible to hang Metro by dragging multiple audio files from the jukebox to the graphic editor and then switch to another application.
• Fixed: It was possible to hang Metro by rendering audio tracks.
• Fixed: If there were fewer than a screen full of plug-ins in the plug-in window, then after a column header sort was performed, a mouse click would occasionally select the wrong plug-in.
