  1. Resolution Note:

    The timing machinery that runs the timeline is not accurate enough to accommodate audio sequencing tasks that require full sample accuracy. Unfortunately looping a clip an exact amount of times falls into this category. We've tried to implement various workarounds to fix the issue described in this bug report, but none were satisfactory. The underlaying problem is that the timeline does all scheduling on the main thread which is not accurate.
