The nudging of tracks will not solve the problem that the string method solves. The issue the string method addresses is the fact that the snare <i>and</i> kick arrive at the two mics at different times. If it were just one source in the two mics, like the snare, you could nudge one of the tracks. But you can't nudge to solve the snare at 1ms difference, and fix the kick at 2.4 ms at the same time.
