corrupt audio files
I’m working on FCP 6 and I’m getting this wierd problem that I’ve encountered on other projects, my music is going corrupt. I’ll lay down a musical bed track (this time a wav. file) and then a day or two after, the music will skip. The track is fine, no cuts, no changes but the song will jump. The original file is fine and I normally just replace the corrupt file with the original to solve the problem but I’d like to figure out why this is happening. Any ideas?

I’m not claiming to know everything, but I’d check two things:
1) Doublecheck that your hard drive is not highly fragmented and/or very full. It’s best to edit with at least a 7200 RPM drive that’s no more than 70% full especially if you’re dealing with HD
2) try an .aiff file for your audio. Macs seem to like .aiff for some reason. Also, what sample rate are you setting your audio? You really don’t need more than 48k 256.
