Yeah, sorry, it was meters and not a graph. So it looks like input signal is coming in "good" but for some reason is showing up delayed on the actual recorded clip?
On audio input devices, there is a "time adjust" and an auto-detect button - see it in the properties panel when you click on an input device on the left. Default it will be 0, but you can offset there if there are delays in the audio path, by a + or - amount. if this number is non-zero, presumably it drops that number as a delay or advance of each audio clip recorded.
There is also an "auto-detect" feature, which does it more precisely, where you feed the output from waveform back into the input device; preferably via audio cable, and it will send pulses to the output and measure/calibrate the return signal deviation per device. I don't think many actually use it; but if run by accident and that above number is "large" it might be affecting all audio recordings via the asio device(s)?
From a copy of the Waveform 11 manual... and it goes through the steps. Again, this is normally only for really short offsets, and setting manually seems to limit it to -500 to +500 milliseconds. However, if somehow you wound up with a larger number in there, it may cause the wonky timings you are seeing. Maybe just SET it to 0 even if it shows 0 ?
Calibrating Input Latency Compensation
If you use Waveform for any overdubbing, this is possibly the most important lesson in this book.
Waveform requires you to run Auto-Detect using a loopback connection on your audio interface.
Warning: This test sets up up a deliberate feedback loop. Switch your speakers off during
this test.You will be connecting an output to an input using a patch cord, so be careful.
