The new features of Live Mode and time alignment along with turning off minimum phase allow for easy fine tuning of your impulse collection. If anyone is familiar with the pink noise method for stereo microphone placement on a speaker cab then you should be able to apply this to finding the perfect time alignment spot easily. You will not however need pink noise for this specifically.
With Live Mode running load up two impulses you want to time align and turn off the processing of minimum phase. Then, switch the phase on one of the impulses to create a really weak and "tinny" sound. With the second impulse start adjusting the time while playing anything through your preset, and listen to when it becomes the absolute quietest it can get. Reverse the phase back to normal on the first impulse and you now have your two impulses perfectly time aligned.
This is great for anyone looking to get the sound you get from having two impulses that are perfectly time and phase aligned without having to guess by looking at the plot. It can also be a starting point if you would like to then adjust it out of phase slightly by ear to "thicken" it up a bit.
Note that if the timing is too far off on the pair of impulses you wish to align you will need to set the processing to Auto-Trim.
Edit: I rarely play purely clean tones and having driven patches were the reason I realize I could do this by ear easily without pink noise. For anyone playing on a cleaner patch add a Synth block after the amp and change the effect to pink noise before attempting to align impulses by ear.
