I have a board feed and aud feed (recorded to the same word clock) set up in Cool Edit Pro multi-track. If I wanna add 5 milliseconds of delay (for the 5 feet of distance between mic's and PA), then would I enter 0:00.500 into the offset feature of the board feed? I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know where the place value of milliseconds are. I know 5 ft. of distance is negligible but I need to learn how to do this anyway.
fyi, by right-clicking on the track, then selecting "Waveblock Properties" you have the option of entering an amount to offset the track.

1 millisecond = 1/1,000th of a second. So...the millisecond's go in the red location: HH:MM:SS.SSS

If you right click on the wave block you can drag it back and forth - IMO that's the best way to go because you can visually align peaks AND listen to it at the same time. Use the math to get started but align by ear! Sometimes there are inserts or other processing in the sound system that can add different delays you might not have been factoring in.

plus sometimes a little delay in the aud feed can have a nice reverb effect, especially if you have a good board mix and you run the aud low in the mix.
