Mic Distortion and Delay

Are you monitoring through logic?

The delay you are hearing is most likely latency - delay created by your computer.

Different buffer settings should help, go logic>preferences>audio>buffer settings and choose as small a buffer as your mac can handle, this will put more work on your processor but the latency should be reduced.

You need to tell us what interface you are using, & what you can see in +Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.+

Then we will have a much better idea how to help.

Also — check your drivers are up-to-date (visit the manufacturer's website to check for known issues & updated driver downloads).

I monitor it through Logic, yes.

Ironically none of this happens in GarageBand

That's because GB is new Logic technology which Logic hasn't yet received! 🙂

The distortion is probably because of your low buffer setting, try 64 or 128. You can also turn of software monitoring in Logic and monitor through the Saffire. (Direct Monitoring), buffer setting can then go up to 256 for solid performance.

If it's only reverb you need there is another method that combines direct and software monitoring, it offers the best of both worlds but takes a few steps for the initial setup. I'll post it if needed.
