Default Good simple delay for track alignment

Mic distances, yes. Otherwise the tracks are of course aligned upon
importing. And I have been doing it manually, but it is much easier
with a delay, since the mics stay put. This way I only need to import
new tracks to a project each time and it's all aligned and ready just
like that. Plus the results are consistent and you can tweak the
latencies to get the best sound every time instead of just winging it
manually every time.

Kind of like delay is used in fixed PA system, this is.
