Logic Pro Recording Latency/ Delay in Headphones

I use an Akg microphone plugged into a scarlett interface 212, connecting to a usb adapter into a new macbook, and i use Akg bluetooth headphones to listen. While i am recording, the delay between what i am playing or recording and hearing it in my headphones is very long and distracting. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried fixing the IO buffering, the sample size, and turning on low latency mode.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0

The delay you are hearing is inherent in your bluetooth headphones - not only yours - all blutooth headphones have this latency.


When you're just listening back to music it is not noticeable but for any precise timing work like you are doing, bluetooth headphones are useless.

Logic Pro -> Settings -> Audio - what is your I/O Buffer Size set to? The lower the level the less latency you'll get however it makes.


Try recording with Low Latency Mode switched on, you can enable the button by clicking on the little down arrow to the right of the Control Bar/Transport at the top of the Arrange window and selecting Customize Control Bar and Display...


Do you get the same delay with wired headphones? I'd try to avoid using bluetooth headphones if you can as they by default will have latency in the transmission of signal from your Mac to the headphones.
