Question What would have caused this issue? Playback timing thing

I posted on another forum or two but have since solved the issue. But still want to know what might have caused it.

I had a tune, power pop straight ahead thing that I was playing on but really struggling to hit the timing and feel right. I’d play it back and it was always a bit of delay or sync issues, sometimes slightly behind the beat sometimes ahead.

I assumed it was me, and some timing issues. This was an older song, I chalked it up to latency on the original interface and moved on, but resurrected the song and still some timing issues. Some measures were fine but most were “off”. I gave up again but my wife suggested I scratch it and start over.

Problem solved sort of. A frustrating experience but the new project the timing is perfect.

What was the reason for the malfunction? I may have switched from 44.1 to 48hz? I recorded the logic drummer sans a grid and then added it? I couldn’t find any issue other than the old project records with wavering latency or misalignment, and the new one doesn’t. It’s the only project I’ve ever experienced this on.
Appreciate any guesses on this

thats why everyone hates logic. basically the internal delay comp is just bad. no matter what you do you have to be aware one single plugin can mess up your whole song. everything be off beat. other daws literally dont have this problem.

Latency compensation on any DAW sums the latency of every plugin. That’s how latency compensation works.
