I read the tracks from the Zoom R16s as WAV files and insert them
into an Ardour session. Since the two R16s are linked by USB when
recording there is a very small delay (about 2ms) on the slave R16. You
can nudge the tracks from the second R16 to get them to line up exactly
with the tracks from the first R16. In practice, it's very difficult to
detect the 2ms delay and you usually don't have to do anything to the
second set of tracks.
