Logic Pro 9 Audio recording too fast

I am using Logic 9 on a Macbook Pro, my sound card is an M-Audio FastTrack Ultra.

The "audio recording too fast" is the only way I can describe the issue. The simplest example I can give is that I can simply snap to the beat of the metronome (into a mic of course) and when I play back, the snapping is AHEAD of the tempo of the metronome!
In another example, I import an mp3, sing along, and on playback I am way ahead of it! My timing may be off sometimes but this is ridiculous!

It is like reverse latency! Maddening!

I just updated my drivers, etc.

Can anyone help with this? I looked for quite some time for this topic but perhaps someone is just explaining the problem in a different way so I am looking for the wrong keywords. Anything is appreciated, thanks!

Try working from an empty project and see what happens. Chance are it is latency inducing plug-ins that are causing these problems. Possibly plug-ins on your master output, or plug-ins on your record enabled track. Try first without any plug-ins and an empty project and report back. If it's not that, we can rule it out and look elsewhere....

Perhaps your "Record delay" In preferences>Devices>core Audio are set to Positive values???? Worth a look!... This happend to me not long ago I thought I was going mad.

First of all, I wanted to say that I appreciate your help.

There is virtually nothing in the project, just one imported mp3 track and an enabled audio track. I have no plugins on any tracks or the master output.

jayfolland was right. It is related to the recording delay setting. I had no idea it was possible to put a negative value on it so that the latency is reversed! Seems strange to me. Anyway, the problem has been solved nby setting it to "0" instead of "-5000". This was default setting by the way. Thanks guys, and a special thanks to jayfolland.

Delay values are traditionally expressed as positive. If I want something delayed 10 ms, I type in 10. If I want want to advance something, I have to type in a negative number. So if I want something 10 ms earlier, I have to type in -10.
