Delayed relative to what exactly? What exactly are you recording and exactly are you measuring?

What *exact* delay… in samples and what sample rate. Often the exact delay in samples gives a good clue what is happening. Easily all measured in Pro Tools.

How were you monitoring audio while recording? Through Pro Tools/software monitoring? Was LLM enabled?—it will disable plugins in the recording path while tracking. Or through a hardware mixer in the interface?

Do you have delay compensation turned on? That will correct for plugin latency and H/W insert latency. But even better while getting started get this working fine with a trivial simple test session and no plugins at all in the session, and no sends, and no H/W inserts.

That bizzarely unhelpful KB Article you linked to should be pointing out that plugins on the outputs/master fader cannot/do not get compensated for… no DAW can cause time travel and just remove absolute latency, all it can do is slow down fastest signal paths to match the slowest. And some limiters/compressors plugins intended for mastering can have huge large latency because of their look-ahead algorithms. You should not be tracking with those style plugins at all. And you should probably not be tracking with any other plugins on the master fader either….
