Exported .WAV Files changes Waveforms

Hey Guys

I really hope someone can help me out, I'm really getting frustrated and thinking about changing my Production setup, because Maschine has been a headache for me…

Here are my 2 main Problems:

I'm producing Songs in Maschine, then exporting the Files as .WAV, so I can mix in Logic Pro X.
I noticed, as soon as I load the files into Logic, the Waveforms seems to have random peaks at different points in the song, even if its the same 4 Bar Loop over and over again. For example it looks fine the whole time, but then let's say at 1:30, the same Loop has a weird peak (sometimes almost clipping). It happens also with samples, let's say a 4bar piano loop from splice. I can see the waveform looks normal in Maschine itself, but after exporting and loading it into Logic, the waveform seems to look different and adding random peaks at random points (sometimes only on one side, see attached picture, its only the left channel side on a stereo track…)
Sometimes even the waveform of a kick looks slightly different every single hit.

Note: I do not use any effect-plugins in Maschine, i export everything dry with plenty of headroom. No Plugins on the Master either.

Problem Nr. 2: I noticed, that I adds a slight delay ("dead space") to my tracks. The Kick for example is not perfectly on the grid, it's slightly later. Happens to every single Track/ Instrument, no matter if it's a sample or VST.

I work on a MacBook Air M1, 16gb Ram. I'm using Logic Pro X and Maschine 2, with Maschine Mikro MK2. I have all my sessions in 44.1khz, as all my samples are 44.1. I export in 24bit. Please note, this happened with my old intel Macbook aswell. I update always to the latest versions.

If anyone knows what's wrong here, I would greatly appreciate help! Thx in advance.
