Advance audio on track by milliseconds with plugin or region in Logic Pro 12.3.1

I am looking for a way to advance / negative delay the audio on a track using a plugin or region setting so it is not permanent like moving the audio would be. In this example I want to bring the tambourines forward in time by 6 milliseconds, making them occur earlier than they were played. The Sample Delay plugin can delay but not advance. The Region Inspector offer advance / negative delay but only in clicks not milliseconds.

Just click on "Delay" in the Track Inspector. This opens a menu to choose Delay in Ticks or Delay in Milliseconds. I'm using 11.2.2, and I hope it still works with later versions.

In the past, it was possible to change the view by using key commands in the region inspector, but apple has removed this feature for unknown reasons.

Yes, it appears that in their continued push to alienate professional audio engineers, Apple have removed that function. How infuriating. I have found a workaround: Voxengo make a freeware latency plugin that "hacks" Lofic Pro's latency compensation to create negative delay. https://www.voxengo.com/product/latencydelay/

Have you checked the Track Inspector, not Region Inspector?
