[Ardour-Users] delay matching (aka time alignment)

[Giso Grimm]

jackd supports to configure the hardware delay of your sound card. You
could add the delay from percussion to mics to that delay (than the
recording should be automatically time-aligned). Unfortunately only one
delay for all inputs and one for all outputs is supported; it would be
nice to have the possibility to setup each channel separately (or
additionally to the global delay of the sound card).
