Slide the tracks and adjust by ear. You will hear it when it pops into

When sliding tracks, I find it easier to home in on the registration
point if I mono the mains and route it to one headphone channel, while
the similar level spot is routed to the other ear. Adjustment is akin to
manually focusing a camera: you typically have to first go beyond the
synch point and ease back again. I'd then confirm with the cans reversed
on my head.

But of course precise time registration of the spot may not give the
optimum audio result.


Makes you wonder how anything sounded decent in analogue days. ;-)

Well, often they didn't. Badly done multi-microphones on orchestra and chorus was
fairly awful, but it was "accepted." When we were finally able to do it right and
use aligned spots only as clearly needed rather than just because they were
there, it was a whole new improvement in the art.
