Default Latency in Record Monitoring Through Effects

I'm sure this has been asked and answered but all my searches pull up discussions of slightly different issues. Either that, or I can't recognize the answer in the stuff I've found.

I have a Waves guitar amp sim plugin (GTR3). I put it on the track, turn on record monitoring and record-enable the track. There is a slight delay between my playing the the guitar and hearing it -- the equivalent of a tight slapback delay. The uneffected guitar appears to be recording without latency. Playing back the recorded guitar through the effect appears to not include any latency. Is there a way to monitor the track through the amp sim effect without that delay?

TIA,
Scott

No.
The digital processing needs some delay to do the work.

But there are means to reduce that delay for live playing with digital effects.

See the sticky thread in the "live" subforum for tips on that.

you could try to minimise the delay by reducing your audio buffer size

I suspect he means reducing your ASIO buffer setting. I routinely run my RME HDSP at either 32 or 64 buffer & with either of those settings, latency is negligible.

Round trip from " play the note" to "sound hits speaker/ear" is typically under 3ms. with an amp sim, a reverb and often either an eq or one of my selection of stomp box pedals.
Oh and this is on a 4th generation 3.5 quad core i7 4770 with either 8 or 16gb of ram. Win 10 Pro
