Default reaper latency problem

I am having an issue with the latency when trying to record. When I speak into the mic, i can see the track signal light up on screen instantly, but then the master signal is almost a full second behind it. I'm running 6 gigs of ram and a 2.66 ghtz quad core processor. I am also using the latest version of asio4all. I've been using sonar, but thought I'd give reaper a try, so pretty new with using this DAW. Is there some kind of settings to use to minimize this? If not, this software seems pretty worthless to track with.

I get sub 2ms latency with my system and reaper (in some circumstances, i tend to track around 5ms), so be assured that this is a setup issue/sound card issue.

What hardware (audio) are you running? what have you set your ASIO buffers to? do you have any plugins on the track (or on the master) and what are they?

I am running Realtek HD 7.1 Surround audio card. I have attached images of my buffering settings. As far as plugins, its worse with plugins (close to a second real time) either on the track or on the master or both. It still happens noticeably (about a half second or a bit less real time) without any plugins at all. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

okay, well with that audio card, I can only suggest making the buffer smaller by increments and experimenting with the 'latency compensation' sliders (ie turn them down to 0). I don't use ASIO4all, so can't be more specific.

No surprise, your ASIO4ALL settings are totally off. Try this instead:

nope, sorry stein, just tried what you suggested, no difference at all. Track is instant, master still lagging.

Are you having any latency introducing plugins (linear phase EQ, read-ahead compressor/limiter, etc) on the master? Or a convolution reverb on a rec armed track? What is the "USB audio codec" device? An USB mic? USB speakers?

If reaper is worthless for tracking, thats fine, I just wanted to know if there was some settings that can fix this problem. Like I said, I've been using sonar with no problems with latency. Also, I have used Vegas for voice overs with video and experience no problems at all with latency while using the same setup and soundcard. Maybe reaper needs to work on compatibility with asio4all?
