Huge thanks! I believe I understand this. How then does moving clips intersect with "align tracks" on the track menu? What kind of matrix does Audacity attempt to align tracks? Do they get aligned by first transient?

Nifty.

Well, we can't have everything. Using this method, I imagine that experimenting with the clip alignment between both tracks would take lots of time, since I'd have to wait for each instance of the clip left or right to complete.
