What's your I/O buffer setting? It needs to be around 128 for non-discernible latency. Also there are latency-creating plugins: Linear Phase Eq, Multipressor, Adaptive Limiter or any 3rd party plugin that has a look-ahead feature. Also if you're recording audio you should turn off Plugin Delay Compensation in Audio Preferences.

Also makes sure there are no active latency inducing plug-ins on the track you are recording or the master bus.

 

There are a few settings you should be aware of in addition to the buffer size. Go to the pdf manual in the help menu and search for "low latency." With you system you should be able to get very low latency.
