Latency Problems with Logic Pro 10

I'm experiencing an unacceptable latency when recording guitars with Logic on my new 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 16" version, which is ridiculous. I'm using Presonus AudioBox iTwo audio interface. I'm testing variety of settings for audio options in Logic, but even minumum buffer size ot 32 samples gives me an unacceptable latency. This problem don't exists on Windows computer, and even on my old 2013 MacBook Pro was better than this! I treid to unplug any devices from the macbook and plug just the usb cable ot the interface - the result is the same. I tried to change Processing Threads option from Auto to 10 cores and Process Buffer Range to any of the options there - no luck at all.

MacOS Monterey

Logic Pro 10.7 /I tried 10.6 too, but the latency is the same/

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, of course I use plugins, It won't be any latency if not :D But the LowLatencyMode is not an option for me, I just want to play, not only to record. Latency was not playable at all. I said "was" because I've found the problem....

By default Plugin latency -> Compensation setting is set to "All". For some reason this introduces unwanted latency?! The correct setting if you play guitar with vst plugins is "Audio and Software Instrument Tracks". This solves the problem.

Please don't give me this cr**. I've read everything about this kind of stuff, I'm doing this for many years. I know how to setup my software, but just didn't work for Logic for some reason........ I just installed Studio One 5, just for the test....Everything is instant, even on higher buffers than Logic. I'm sorry, but shame on you, Apple......

Do you use any plugins in your session?

Did you try to record with Low Latency Mode enabled ? Don't forget to disable LowLatencyMode while playback.

BTW I have never used the option to adjust the recording delay in the preferences, it looks odd for me.

How impertinent, buf, in Spanish we are more polite, what a shame, no matter what you think you know, you only think you know, but nothing more. Good luck with your rudeness.
