And just to throw mud in the game, it is strongly recommended that you record on the H4n and then transfer the files to the computer with the USB connection. Using a USB connection for live performances comes with many problems. You're only experiencing the first of them. After you do get it all wor...

I can still overdub if I want to. Yes, but it may not match. The purpose of the Recording Latency setting is to eliminate the timing differences, to make sure what you're recording syncs with the original track.
