Actually, this is for a drum machine so it's very practical. The sound is also user definable. I've tried the clone way, and it still isn't all that accurate. Keep in mind, that these are only 16th notes. God forbid I try 32nd and 64th notes! I think the actual code that plays a sound is slow in RB maybe?
No, once a sound is loaded it plays pretty much instantly (a whole bunch of people on the realbasic-games list would be up in arms if it didn't).
Using a Timer, you should be able to easily play sounds with a precision of about 1/30 second on the Mac (assuming nothing much else going on). Using a tight loop, you could do much better, but then of course you're sucking a lot of CPU time. If you're not getting those results, then I suspect there's something wrong with your approach or implementation.
