I'm new to Cocoa and have been trying to write a metronome although everything I tried ended up as a failure. Can anyone help me? I'm currently using NSTimer but its very inaccurate.

NSTimer fires in the main thread, it will not fire if the main thread is busy. It's only going to be "very inaccurate" if you do "too much" work in response to the event. The documentation for NSTimer doesn't go into a lot of detail on this topic, but the documentation for CFRunLoopTimer is pretty good:
