Can anyone please explain to me the difference between Total CPU and Overhead?
Sometimes my overhead can be like -250 or something... while the total is at 60%.

Not quite sure, but maybe there is something wrong with the displayed value in your build.
For a specific song here, it shows for instance 22% total and 2.3% overhead.
Hovering the mouse pointer over the value gives me the following tip regarding the meaning of each:
Total: "Total audio engine CPU usage including overhead"
Overhead: "CPU usage by non-machines (internal mixers, amplifiers, synchronization etc.)"
Hope this helps. Cheers
