Signal delay when recording in Reaper

Hi
I got a Pod UX2 yesterday and have it all plugged in fine - into the usb port and the headphone out into my monitors.
I set up Pod farm and it all works fine, which guitar and vox, but when I record with reaper using Pod Farm as a VST FX plugin there is a substatial delay in the recording, so the guitar/vox is always behind the beat. Any ideas of how I can solve this?
Also since i plugged the speakers into the headphone jack every now and then there is a clicky type sound during playback, I'm not sure if it's latency or soemthing but any ideas on what to do there?
Any help much appreciated, thanks!
Dan
Okay, I just figured out the second part, so the clicky crackling isnt happening any more!
Any ideas on the rest?
Cheers
Dan
Hey dangiles44,
I would suggest to lower the buffer size within Reaper's preferences menu to reduce any latency.

I did a quick test on this old work PC I'm on (XP/SP2) running REAPER 3.141 (probably older than your version) and POD Farm 2.51 VST.
I took a screenshot; aside from the fact that I'm using a POD Studio KB37, the preference and software input settings should match what I have. On this 3+ year old work computer I'm on, POD Farm 2.51 VST on Track #2 is processing audio and I'm hearing it with no perceivable delay (to my ears).
Maybe it's something in the software settings on your system? Double-check yours against my screenshot for starters and let us know.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
