Prior to updating to 8.1.3., the latency I was experiencing was fairly minimal - bearable enough to work with. At the moment, the latency is particularly bad (almost 2 seconds) - pain in the arse when you're trying to loop live! The current settings in the Audio tab are:

Buffer Size - 5512 Samples
Input Latency - 110 ms
Output Latency - 750 ms
Driver Error Compensation - -300 ms
Overall Latency - 560 ms

It seems that I can't adjust this any further (?). Is there anything else I can do to improve latency??

You need to switch the driver type in the audio preferences.
You should also post a lot more info, starting with PC/MAC, OS, etc...

Thank you - problem solved!

how exactly? interested, since i notic latency between my midi controller and live as well.

Switching to a different driver did it - in this case switching from ASIO to MME/DirectX in the Preferences window.
