Are your headphones plugged into the Vocaster 2?

Try changing the sample rate

The is obviously your computer. Did you check your sound settings to ensure nothing was causing the issue?

The Bluetooth headphones are definitely adding latency, Bluetooth always does. Your internal mic / audio driver may be causing some as well. If you're only using the internal mic and are on Windows, using ASIO4ALL as the audio driver could help reduce latency.

Bluetooth latency can be substantial: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/learn/sbc-aptx-which-bluetooth-codec-is-the-best

As far as I know, the latency is unavoidable in Audacity.

With other DAWs like Reaper or Cakewalk, you can use an audio interface that supports ASIO to greatly reduce the latency.

Even without the audio interface, you could download and use the ASIO4ALL driver with Reaper or or Cakewalk, which is what I do. Audacity doesn't support it, AFAIK.

Also, ASIO4ALL isn't perfect, or without issues, but it's an option if you don't have a real interface like a Scarlet 2i2 or something.

just plug in your headphones into the Katana instead. No latency with that, problem solved.

Use other software - I started using tracktion waveform free which was pretty good

You have to match the sample rate of the project to that of the Katana Driver.

Audio cards are lightning fast with basically zero latency because they plug straight into the motherboard. 

I work primarily in the box, and use a Scarlett only for tracking vocals. 

Audio cards are less practical for those who do heavy out of the box work. But they are greased lightning.

*audio cards made specifically for music production, to specify. Windows onboard is hot garbage 

Logic X always had latency issues for me. On the same computer, any other DAW had zero latency issues.

Logic also makes things very "quiet" when recording compared to other DAWs. I always record in another DAW and bring into Logic.

Which version of Logic? Which macOS? (Exact version numbers) Which computer?

Turn on Low Latency mode when you're recording stuff (it disables the plugins creating latency), then turn it off for mixing: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105040

Remove any processing on the main output if you have any and turn on low latency mode.

Depending on what you're using, recording through plugins can be a huge source of latency. Some plugins need to perform TONS of calculations per second which is fine with playback since the data can buffer, but in a live monitoring scenario, it can be problematic. Either turn off those plugins for recording, or use the low latency button in Logic which will automatically bypass plugins during recording. I don't remember if this is mapped to a hotkey combo by default or if I created one, but you should be able to check it using the 'opt + k' shortcut to show all shortcuts. Search for "low latency". In my setup it's mapped to 'ctrl + cmd + L', but again, I may have set that up as a custom shortcut. I really don't remember. I also have it mapped to a key on a macro keypad right next to the macro key for recording so I'm used to flipping it on and off for recording.
 
Edit: Those Neural DSP plugins seem pretty resource hungry to me. Try turning them off and see what happens.

I have Logic Pro X whit the latest update

Exact version number please? Many people here say they have the latest but they don't actually have the latest

Just confirming you aren’t monitoring with Bluetooth at all.

I've got a Solo 3rd Gen and a powerful laptop that runs Cakewalk, Studio One, and Ableton easily. No issues recording and mixing full tracks... But, EVERY TIME I've tried to record guitars on Bandlab, I've got flat out unusable latency. It's the craziest thing. I've contacted support, we went back and forth with "ideas" and "fixes" for about 4 months before I just gave up... I'll use Bandlab for making electronic tracks (lo-fi, EDM, etc) but I'm done trying to record guitars with it... I've got no clue

Latency is just trash on desktop. Even with testing it doesn't help any. 2 years going strong and has never changed. I just ended up getting used to it. I use an interface as well if the helps with xlr dynamic mic. Bandlab @ offwhite_317

What's your ASIO buffer size set to ?

And are you sure you don't have any high latency plugins on, hover over them and check the latency (it pops up at bottom left)

Most likely due to plugin latency. Check your devices for the plugin latency they introduce

P.S. Latency has very little (nothing) to do with CPU load. But depends on the driver/interface (I/O latency) and devices (plugin latency).

In Live you can reduce I/O latency by using smaller buffer sizes.
By using Reduced Latency when Monitoring you can make sure Live doesn't delay the signal on tracks you are recording to/monitoring for plugin latency from devices on other tracks.
If you have a device that introduces a lot of plugin latency on the signal chain you are monitoring/recording to you can't do anything else but remove that device (de-activating it won't get rid of its plugin latency)
