Bob, I think from other threads that the OP prefers to use the plug-in and understands it does not have all the features of the stand-alone program. That’s a choice.

Mark, good clarification. Even without any kind of lead-in or syncopation, actual musicians don’t line up. Agreed. I actually was citing common examples where BIAB intentionally produces good-sounding performances where the musicians do not enter at the same instant. Both points are valid and are examples disproving the ‘misaligned’ concept.

To all: In fact, it’s a human judgement call precisely where a sound does begin. You can’t quite tell just by looking at a waveform.

So, the answer to the original question “Can the generated audio be aligned” is Yes; this is best done during mixing and is best done by a human.
