Hi folks - been in non lurk mode for a while and just been through 10,000 posts!

Have been messing about with time alignment in my DAW and wondering if
there are any useful bits o pick up on of which I might not be aware.

IMHO, it is the lack of 'perfect' time alignment (when dealing with a
multi-miked, close miked drum kit), which provides the space that
makes the resulting kit have more 'size'. The more perfectly aligned
the tracks, the smaller the kit seems to sound. While this may be fine
for 'techno' stuff, it weakens the strength of a typical drum set sound.

Are you in reference to time alignment of instrument mics after tracking,
similar to above, or are you in reference to compensating for delays
incurred when processing tracks with plug-ins, etc.?
