The best way is directly in Cakewalk in the Inspector in the Track Properties (like Cubase).
A minus (forward) track delay is useful, for example, if I have two recordings: the inner bass drum and the outer bass drum. The outer bass drum is delayed slightly later (due to the distance), so I have to edit this track, moving it forward (earlier, minus). Most plugins can only move it backward (later, plus), and that's very inadequate!
I've now found the "TrackControl" plugin from DMG Audio, which allows you to set a minus delay (see print screen), and it works perfectly as expected!
