Default MIDI recorded latency after playing with no latency

Hi folks I'm new here and thank you in advance for any help on this!

Here's my setup:
Mac Pro (Late 2013), 3.5 GHz 6-Core, 16GB Memory, OSX 10.10.5 (Yosemite)
Universal Audio Apollo Quad w/ Thunderbolt (Console version 8.4.1)
Pro Tools LE 12.4.0
Akai MPK261 MIDI Keyboard (Using Pro Tools preset #9)

This never used to happen to me before PT 12, but I've noticed recently that when I record any MIDI track (this is with my buffer setting at 64), the actual MIDI notes themselves appear to be recording late (as if I was playing with my buffer setting at like 1024).

So for example, as I'm recording a MIDI cajon track as an Instrument Track with my buffer at 64, it sounds like I'm playing with minimal latency. But then when I playback, the notes are very noticeably behind what I THOUGHT I was playing. Another example, simple quarter notes that I feel like I'm playing right on the beat, are being recording slightly behind the beat on my grid.

I checked my MIDI settings and the AKAI website to make sure that my keyboard firmware/settings were solid, as well as my UA console software. Everything is up-to-date.

Please help. Also please excuse me if this is a ridiculously simple problem to fix!
