Monitoring audio input through USB mic; lags

Hi,
I've been trying to monitor my own voice in headphones when recording into Garageband, however I find the slight lag to be most distracting (I'm reading a script for a voiceover). Is there a way to have the monitored audio stay in real time, so as not to have that annoying lag? I've experienced similar issues using other software (like Adobe Soundbooth). Is the lag simply an aspect of all digital audio recording, or can I monitor in real time?
Thanks,
Vic

it IS a part of digital audio, but whether or not it's perceptible depends on all the hardware involved. without buying new hardware there are two things to do.

make sure things are optimized:

and if that isn't sufficient, only wear your cans over ONE ear, and do not use GB's monitor.
