Well, I'm sure it works fine with lining up the tracks, but the cool thing is that you can sit in your control room and twiddle the knobs until it sounds right while you're listening to the changes, kind of like an EQ. That doesn't necessarily mean the tracks are exactly aligned. In case of the speaker/SM91 combo for the kick I was able to dial in exacly the right amount of punchy low end without it getting woofy (?) even though the tracks might have not been totally aligned. Also, sometimes I find it hard to "see" the relationship between waveforms, as in the example above, the speaker did not have any high end content and the SM91 only had some small amount of low end, so the waveforms don't look very similar. Also, I rather hear what it sounds like before it gets printed.
