READY TO PULL MY HAIR OUT!
Depending on where I start playing on the sequence the music changes. I have an aif…then tried making the song a QT. When I play the seq from the beginning the beats happen in certain places, but then if I play if from halfway or right before a shot where I know it should come in on the beat…it changes! What the hell is happening. I have just fresh installed Tiger, decklink drivers, QT7 pro, and FCP 5 hoping that this would fix this it and it hasn’t.
PLEASE HELP.

You must only monitor EITHER on an external monitor OR on the computer (not both).
If you do first ONE WAY, and then the OTHER WAY, there can appear to be an offset.
Otherwise, I can’t understand what you mean.
Once the track is on the timeline, it should not “move”.
Do you have the audio track(s) in question LOCKED on the timeline?
Have you done an audio MIXDOWN?

I am only monitoring this audio internally. The track is not moving physically, just acoustically…meaning, if I put a marker on the audio track, that marker will never move, but the audio cues will be in different places the next time I play the sequence. Also I tried doing a mixdown and that didn’t help either…plus it is only one stereo track of audio, which should hardly necessitate a mixdown. I am still frustrated with 5…it has been one problem after another since I put it on my machine. We just wiped the system of 5 and reinstalled 4.5…now the audio works fine…what is going on?
Thanks for you response,

It would be a mistake to make such an assumption.
If you experience video or audio anomalies on the timeline, you should always try an audio mixdown, regardless of the number or kinds of audio tracks.
Sorry you’ve had trouble with FCP 5.
I have not heard of anyone else experiencing audio “moving or changing” on an edited timeline.
Wish the mixdown had helped. -
I’m wondering if I had a similar problem… You say the audio was playing back incorrectly? Do you remember if the wavefor was incorrect as well. I’m wondering if it could have been a corrupt render file. I have found dumping audio render files might help something like that too.
