I haven’t found any problem with .wavs. FCPX creates it’s own hidden metadata when you import media – so even though the new audio files are identical they’re not to FCPX.
You could try importing the EQed audio files as new media, create a multicam clip and sync to audio.

Not being able to save manually I’m finding the biggest turn-off in FCPX.
I’ve always regarded pressing ‘Command-S’ as part of ‘completing’ the edit – unless you want to play around for a bit and then you want to have the option of ‘revert to saved’…

When Apple’s engineering staff looked for inspiration and ideas to use in X, as they must have with access to plenty of audio folk with a Logic, and Soundtrack Pro teams in house, why do you think they decided to craft X like they did rather than more like a DAW?
From an audio point of view, although vast numbers of sound engineers do use Logic – and indeed ProTools and many other similar systems – for serious high-level editing, the actual ‘editing’ capabilities (as distinct from tracking and mixing) of these systems are fairly basic in comparison with more specialist editing DAWs such as SADiE, Sequoia, Pyramix and soundBlade. (Braced for ‘red arrows’!)
So the Apple engineers may well have looked at the typical editing going on in Logic and thought ‘we can do this better’. If they’d looked at some of the editing going on in specialist DAWs I think they may have thought twice – much of that would probably be pretty traumatic without a track-basedc paradigm!

Think of the times you just want to experiment and try out things – 20, 30 or more steps that at the end you think ‘no – scrap this’ and just want to go back to the ‘last saved’ version.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who does this occasionally – that’s why ‘Revert to Saved’ is there in Quark, Photoshop…
‘Autosave’ destroys this freedom, and in any professional-level software is a complete no-no.

Has no-one else had this freezing/static loop problem?
It’s 100% repeatable, whether the disc is authored in Encore 4 for Windows, or CS5 for Mac…
