Yes, this is the first time this has happened. A little background. I recently made two upgrades to my recording setup. The first was replacing my old Lexicon Lambda interface with a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6. Then I upgraded Sonar from X1 Studio to X2 Producer. Typically, I don't change more than one thing in my setup until I have a handle on the first piece of new equipment but a really great deal on the Focusrite and Cakewalk offering to upgrade me to X2 for $99 bucks hit about the same time. I couldn't afford to pass up either since I knew I wanted to upgrade to X2 Producer anyway. Loving the Pro Channel!
Thanks to the screen shot Tom posted, I figured it out. I was using the ASIO drivers and had the "Use ASIO Reported Latency" checked. However, the wrong device was selected in the drop down box. I was using a Line 6 plugin and had my old GX interface plugged in as well. The Latency Adjustment was set to it, not the Focusrite. I changed it to the Focusrite and did a test pass and it lined up on the beat.
I appreciate everyone chiming in to help. I may not have metronome-like perfect timing, but I knew I wasn't as off as the waveform showed, especially since it showed me right on while laying down the track! And scook, I read through the link you posted and will take a look at that as well. That info should be included as part of the standard setup instructions when installing Sonar.
