Default Why don't these signals null?

No two recordings of any instrument (Whether digital or analogue) played
by a human will ever null completely. Apart from environmental factors
such as the air temperature, the player's will differ timing between the
two recordings.

Getting them as close as you did is actually damn consistent playing.


His original post was difficult to understand, but if you look at it
again, he performs once, then copies the track through the air twice.
The result he got is to be expected. The inverted track mostly nulled
the other, but the differences caused by amp distortion and air medium
inconsistencies and even his position in the room, lingered in the
difference.
