Morgan,

This has been covered extensively in past discussions here. (Search for coreaudio mailing list entries on 'metronome', 'sequencer', etc.) Counting samples is the most accurate way to go. 

best,

Greg

I've been calculating time by simply counting samples (each time I calculate a sample, I tick my time count forward) and dividing by sample rate. I suspect this isn't the best way. It seems to me that it would be better to have a sequencer running in in a separate thread from my audio generation code. NSTimer would be my first choice, but is not accurate enough for music. How can I set up a timer which is accurate enough for music?

thanks,

-Morgan
