Problems with Metronome...

I was wondering.... is it possible for a metronome to be out of time? eg. setting it up at 110bpm.... but somehow.... in relation to something which is also running at 110bpm.... it goes out of time... possible?

anyone ever encounter such problems?
 
those wind-up ones are possible to go out of time when they start getting old.
even those cheap digital ones go out of time after awhile.
 
Yeah it is definitely possible..it is almost guaranteed. That's why studios use stuff like midi sync, MTC, SMTPE so all the different equipment runs from a single tempo clock.
 
How can a digital unit go out time???

The problem is that there is a variation of miliseconds which throws two units with same bpm out of sync.

Yup!! as widdly said, you need a common source with all devices linked ... via midi ...
