You should definitely be using the ASIO driver with the 2i2 Focusrite.

Check the latency setting and the buffers for both audio and midi. You might need to move the latency around until you find the sweet spot. Same thing with buffers. You want the latency low enough that you can't hear it but not so low that the system can't keep up. Same thing with the buffers. They need to be large enough to give the system a nice look ahead but not so big that they bog the system down.

In the past, and on another forum site, I recall some people having 2 different settings for the buffers and latency. They wrote the numbers down until they could remember them. One set was for recording and the other set was for the playback/mixdown.

However, depending on the computer, using the focusrite interface, you should be able to easily find a nice workable setting that works for either recording or playback.

It might take some time to find the solution, but stick with it and you will find it.
