Align the audio sync of multiple mics in classical recording

PostFri May 26, 2023 8:39 pm

I'm mixing classical music in Fairlight and want to add audio delays, typically 15 to 20 millisecs, to a few tracks to sync spot mics to my main mics. How do a slip tracks by such small amounts in Fairlight?

If memory serves, when you zoom into sufficiently, you can slip clips down the sample level.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

Thanks Jim...I had hoped there was a 'calibrated' way of tweaking as I can in other DAWs like Nuendo.
