# Auto gain & delay alignment
Auto gain and delay alignment allows you to time and level align your system automatically, removing the need to adjust values manually in the software. The alignment algorithm analyses simulation data within your assigned target zones and adjusts beam gains and delays for your mains and followers, as defined by your function group relationships.
Alignment is performed at the **preset layer level**. You can align an entire preset layer or select specific sources using the checkboxes provided. You cannot align a full preset at once — you must work layer by layer.
{% hint style="info" %}
Recommended order: Always run gain alignment before delay alignment.
{% endhint %}
