Latency; Pro Tools/MIDI

Hey guys, I'm having trouble recording with MIDI in Pro Tools(not only midi but mostly) When recording audio from a MIDI recording there is a latency of about, well it depends... I move the buffer size around from 1024/512 to 128, sometimes to 64. but as the session gets bigger, it gets to be a problem.
Is there any way of changing this without the hassle?

Converter display discrepancy -- Apogee to Lynx

I run my analog signal into an Apogee PSX-100SE, which then carries the signal into a Lynx AES16 card in my DAW. The Apogee shows the level at around -2 to 6dB, but the Lynx software mixer shows the signal at +12 to +16dB, and my recording application (Sound Forge) shows a level comprable to the Apogee (around -2 to -6dB). I cannot understand why they would show different signal levels...

Do you "Tune" your ears?

Just wondering if many other engineers sit down a few minutes before a session and listen to a really well produced CD in order to kinda calibrate thier ears?

I do before every session because I feel that I hear things a little differently each day. I've also read a few times, that humans have a very short "hearing memory".

Just wondering.
