overtone 2025-08-14

Greetings! I had the dumb idea to make sound tracks to help with exercise reps (hangboard, to be precise). I've hacked something together, however, rendering and recording is done in real-time, which is a bit annoying. Is there a way to render into a buffer as quickly as possible, not related to the wallclock?

To clarify the idea: something like a metronome that generates a audio track with beeps so that I can do the correct number of reps.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the supercollider docs!

I know it's not really what SC/overtone was made for.

If all you want is a metronome at a steady rate, you could create a single “beep” sound, cut it to the right length (for a single tick) and repeat it, as a buffer, with https://github.com/uncomplicate/clojure-sound?tab=readme-ov-file
