Latency while recording

Hello Eveyone , I am facing latency issues while recording my vocals . I have tried everying possible which includes low buffer size which is 64 , Low latency mode , Low latency mode in autotune settings. Moreover its a new project. Only 2 tracks are there which just 1 autotune plugin on the vocal recording track. I have also tried turning of direct monitoring and just staying on software monitoring to avoid any issues with that as well. Adding on , I have checked the CPU load and it is minimal.

Any help would be really appreciated .

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.1

I just checked my UAD today, and I had similar Latency issues: see the first sceenshot below:

I solved it, by switching the MacOS System Sound Setting to built-in input and output. And Logic's Sound Settings back and forth, always pressing apply. Now it looks normal and has the usual latency:

I don't know whats wrong. I'm also using UAD in the studio with no issues. No matter if listening directly from the interface (pre Logic) or thru Logic (post UAD and post Logic). What happens if you plug your headphones into the UAD interface before Logic gets the signal?

This was just a test. However there is an unknown issue because you have latency on a fresh, empty project as well. This should not happen with buffer size of 64.
