Many factors could lead to excessive latency when performing an audio recording. However, before you invest a lot of time and effort into optimizing your system for improved performance and to become to perfect home recording machine, you should check whether your program is already using ASIO as driver model. Not sure what audio program you're using, but in the program's settings you will find an option to choose the audio driver. Switch to ASIO and pick the ASIO driver of your sound card or the generic "low latency" ASIO drivers from Magix, if your sound hardware doesn't provide ASIO drivers. Latency time should be reduced to a minimum now.

I hope this helps.

This is typical latency problem. As said before, try to use ASIO driver for your soundcard. Then you will always have some delay to compensate. To do that, there is a parameter in the Record options (Shift+R) called "Record Offset". You could enter there a number of samples (could be negative) to compensate the delay for the recorded objects.

Hi,
You've had some good answers... in addition to latency adjustments for your card/interface. You may want to update the drivers. Many manufactures (especially Creative) shipped their products with very poor ASIO drivers. An update will help tremendously.
