I want to be able to track the timing during a looping sample (i.e. one that resets to 0 at the beginning of each repeat)... at the moment I am using tabread4~ but I can't seem to access any information to do this.... my plan is to be able to track certain positions in the sound file.

Any thoughts?

The current time (in terms of the original recording) is the index to [tabread4~] divided by the samplerate (which you can obtain from [samplerate])

How do I get the index from it and I want to do this in Real Time
