Question:
Hey jf - I have a very interesting question for you. How does a DAW keep track of time? Ticks, OS clock, or something completely else? Especially when it comes to calculating BPM, time signature, song length, and etc.

Depends on the DAW! In general though the samples-processed is the most important, the OS time isn't as relevant. REAPER tracks project position in seconds as a double, which has its own set of problems. I remember Paul the Ardour dev saying at some point they switched to some other unit like 100-nanosecond intervals or something, but I forget what it was exactly.
