With an audio project I would need to listen to the whole thing, and when there are 32 tracks or more to be checked, that can be unmanageable.

For Lightroom, I keep the library on my local SSD drive and the photos on the NAS. One thing to note is that you can import photos into a Lightroom library in-place (from wherever they currently reside), or you can have Lightroom copy or move them to a location of your choice, with a few options around how to organize the files. In this case, the Lightroom software itself could well be the cause of the corruption, as it is doing the copying. I copy the files to a destination on the NAS using a drive-mapped letter, but it works with UNC paths as well. On Windows, I have ever experienced any corruption in about 8 years of using the Synology/
