"delay" while recording

hi there, i am wondering why when i go to record, in my headphones as well as outside speakers, there is a delay in the recording. i strum, then 1 second later it strums in my headphones…does anyone know why???
thanks, first time recorder

Probably because you have “software playthrough” enabled.
if you provide more information about your set-up we can probably help further.

Have you set up the latency correction? http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Latency_Test
