When layering drum samples, what processing technique primarily addresses phase cancellation issues between the layers?

The processing technique that primarily addresses phase cancellation issues when layering drum samples is time alignment. Phase cancellation occurs when two or more waveforms combine in such a way that their peaks and troughs are misaligned, resulting in a reduction of amplitude or even complete silence at certain frequencies. This is particularly problematic when layering drum samples, as slight timing differences between the samples can cause significant cancellations, especially....
