Midi sync with ableton always results in lots of latency! help me!

if i use over bridge via usb or if i just connect via midi out of my interface to midi in of my digitakt, i can never get my digitakt play in time with ableton. ive synced my digitakt with digitone and lots of other synths and gear and have had eveything working fine but when i try to record stuff into ableton or play along with stuff in ableton it is always latent, i usually just ending up recording all in one track out of my mixer. ive looked all over the forum and the web and cant seem to figure out a solution to this problem, please help!!
