Dank - Thanks.  I was hoping I had a solution for you.  But I have faith it'll get sorted.

What I was saying is that you can separate audio interface caused latency from plugin caused latency by temporarily removing your plugins from the guitar track, and then seeing if you have a delay from just the raw guitar signal going to the track.

Audio interface latency would show up there if you had any.  An absence of latency with just your raw guitar signal to the track would point to one or more of the plugins causing the problems.

By adding back plugins one at a time, you can eventually figure out which one(s) cause the latency problems.

If on the other hand you heard latency with no pluging - the raw guitar signal, then you have to figure out a set of ASIO settings that will lower your latency.

ONE of the above two should - I think - be relatively easy to work through, and would seem to be reasonably of isolating the cause.

hat I was saying is that you can separate audio interface caused latency from plugin caused latency by temporarily removing your plugins from the guitar track, and then seeing if you have a delay from just the raw guitar signal going to the track.

Just to clarify, a latent plugin could be enabled *anywhere* in the project... and cause all other audio (including the guitar track the OP is trying to record) to be delayed.
IOW, He can't limit his search to just those plugins on the delayed guitar track.

There's a PDC (plugin delay compensation) global bypass in the transport section of the control bar.
If you globally disable automatic PDC and the delay disappears, then you know for certain that a latent plugin is the culprit.  You can either remove it from the project (when tracking)... or you can use the global PDC bypass while tracking.  (Obviously you'd want to re-enable PDC for mixing.)

Bob,

The latency occurred with no plugins on the track and with the raw guitar. I will check the ASIO settings, but I do recall they were grayed out and therefore, could not be accessed.

And Jim, I will try your suggestion of global bypass.

Thank you for your time.
