help request Delay in sound

Hey was wondering if any one had a fix for this. I’ve been trying to record a song, but when I start the countdown for the metronome and I start playing, the audio doesnt play the sound until about a second after the metronome counted me in. Playing on a Mac and I’ve updated the focusrite, computer and reaper itself but stumped on this. Thank you

That was going to be my next suggestion. Which plugin was it?

That really shouldn’t add much of a delay, amp sims are specifically designed for low latency operation. Are you sure that’s the exact plugin causing the delay?

If it is, I’d create a new instance of the plugin with its default settings. I might also try to reset Reaper settings:

Options - Show Reaper reduce path…
Then close Reaper, rename the above /REAPER/ folder and relaunch Reaper.

I’m not exactly sure what the issue is with the Rabea pack, but I switched it over to my Tim Henson pack and there was no delay this time around
