    Yea, what is your sound card and what are your pc specs. If your using onboard sound chips, then thats your problem, there no good with low latency
    and i can still record and everything but its suppose to be all the way to the left

    Who said that? use what ever settings works for you. If your not having any problems, like you just said above, then dont change a thing.
    Low latency is only needed if your triggering soft synths or using input echo. I would still invest in an audio sound card, if your using an onboard chip. You'll notice a vast improvement.

    start by answer the questions and not just asking the same one again!

    what soundcard are you using?  what computer specs?

    thank you - we MUST have that kind of information before we can begin to help.  have you downloaded the latest drivers for the US-122L for winXP from Tascam?  if not, do so and install them.
    then try changing to ASIO driver mode
    OPTIONS>AUDIO>DRIVER MODE = ASIO.
    click APPLY.

    Do this:
    Click Options | Audio | Advanced.  Set your Driver Mode to WDM/KS.  If you do not see Driver Mode, make sure the box next to “Always use mme interface” is NOT checked.  Click OK and restart the program.  If prompted, allow Wave Profiler to test your hardware. 
    Next, Click Options | Audio:
    On the Drivers tab:
    Make sure your Tascam card is selected under both inputs and outputs.  Deselect any other drivers that may be in the list.  If you make any changes, click OK and restart the program. 
    On the general tab:
    Make sure one of your Tascam card drivers is selected as Playback Timing master.  Click OK.  Restart the program if prompted. 
    Finally, all audio playback will occur from the Tascam itself.  Make sure you hook speakers or headphones hooked to its outputs.
