modern p.a. tools allow sissies like yours truly to just click on the
"find delay" button and be done :-D

that is
precisely what dual-fft tools for p.a. system calibration do,
and they're extremely useful.
they allow you to constantly monitor the system with _program_ material,
without having to use MLS noise or any other specific measurement signal.
one channel is used for the direct signal from the mixer, the other is
fed by a measurement microphone with delay compensation. you get instant
phase and amplitude response. good systems also give you an additional
"confidence" curve that tells you how much you can trust which parts of
the spectrum. for instance, if your program material is a boy soprano,
the confidence of the measurement in the low end is practically zero.
