Garageband latency on version 10.4.3.

Brand new macbook pro. Barely any storage used. using USB input for guitar and experiencing severe latency issues. It appears that in the past there used to be the option to change your buffer settings and minimize delay when recording. Now these options simply aren't there. Does anyone know a workaround for this? Very frustrating

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

GarageBand 10.3.4 Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 "Initializing Core Audio"? I have a macbook Pro 2019 model running macOS Monterey 12.5. When I use GarageBand 10.3.4 connecting a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, I get frequent interruptions of "Initializing Core Audio" popup message. When this happens the recording signal coming from the Scarlett is interrupted. This ruins that section of the recording. Usually I record that whole track over again, I am creating 60 or 90 second guitar tracks, so redoing the whole track has been best.The "Initializing Core Audio" popup clears very quickly, a second or so. doesn't seem to have a root cause. I've tried selecting the input to be the focusrite input 1 and focusrite input 2. The problem seems to keep happening. Does any one have any tips to help fix this?

Latency Problems with Logic Pro 10 I'm experiencing an unacceptable latency when recording guitars with Logic on my new 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 16" version, which is ridiculous. I'm using Presonus AudioBox iTwo audio interface. I'm testing variety of settings for audio options in Logic, but even minumum buffer size ot 32 samples gives me an unacceptable latency. This problem don't exists on Windows computer, and even on my old 2013 MacBook Pro was better than this! I treid to unplug any devices from the macbook and plug just the usb cable ot the interface - the result is the same. I tried to change Processing Threads option from Auto to 10 cores and Process Buffer Range to any of the options there - no luck at all. MacOS Monterey Logic Pro 10.7 /I tried 10.6 too, but the latency is the same/
