“Shares of Avid Technology fell more than 14% on Tuesday, after the company, which makes editing products for digital media, said its audio business was struggling during the third quarter,” R.M. Schneiderman reports for Forbes. “The reason: a sales dip of its Pro Tools HD editing software.”
“In early August, Avid said it would release a version of Pro Tools that is compatible with Apple’s new Intel-based Mac Pro. Avid expected a drop off in its older version of Pro Tools, which is based on Apple’s G5 Macintosh computers,” Schneiderman reports. “On Tuesday, however, the company said in a press release that this slackening has had a greater-than-expected effect due to ‘the significant improvement in the price/performance of the new Intel-based Mac platform.'”
