Audio WAV keeps moving out of sync!!!

Have you updated to Everett?

I searching all over the world and I cannot find Everett! 

Lets hope this works its taken me all day to download this software why can't they ever make there updates and installation straightforward I really not in favour of these so called new improvements. It's really of putting and difficult. This may be my last upgrade I will definitely check out the competition after today. Thing is me and Sonar have come along way sad day. Hopefully if this version of Sonar works well we will see, but its not been a good start at all!

Sounds like maybe you're getting over-compensation for record latency. You should be using ASIO drivers, and you can test the actual round-trip latency (RTL) using the free CEntrance ASIO Latency Test Utility (Google it). Then enter a Manual Offset under Preferences Audio > Sync and Caching:
 
Manual Offset (in samples) = CEntrance Measured RTL - SONAR Reported RTL
 
This is always necessary for any audio interfacre because the latency reported by the driver to SONAR is never right on. But the error will generally be less than a millisecond and not really noticeable as a sync error so something else may be going on.
 
In any case, SONAR is not now - and never has been - 'rubbish'. You just need to get your hardware and SONAR configured correctly. I think you've been around long enough to know this.
 
If you continue to have trouble, just tell us exactly what you have configured for what hardware, how you're monitoring, and how big the sync error is and in which direction - i.e. are new recordings early or late relative to SONAR's audio metronome.
 
If you're finding that audio is laid down a whole measure late, you may be running into an issue with the metronome count-in that seems to affect some interfaces/systems. If that's the case, try disabling count-in and see if it makes a difference.

When you do a new purchase of Sonar wouldn't the download be for the most up to date version? I'd like to know for certain just from the point of view of advising others.

Yes.

I went to preferences:
Clock
then changed from Audio to internal
Tried recording again it worked!!!
However when I went back in to clock settings it had mysteriously changed itself back to Audio.  I changed it back to internal Apply then close. Tried recording it didn't work...went back into preferences: Clock: it had reset itself back to Audio.

I deleted the audio track that I was having problems with then made a new audio track cut and pasted the vocal into the the new one that seems to work how ever when I record an audio wav I wait a second or so before I hit the space bar. I feel like I've gone back to the early eighties. Its definitely not fluid this Platinum is it?

Yes Bill I have been using Saffire pro equipment on all my X series now through to platinum I have changed my buffee sizes everything is set to how my preferences were set in previous installs.

side issue I cannot see my Dim Pro and you know no one can live without Dim Pro.

Thanks vostro for the info I will try doing that...Another thing that happened synths that I cannot do without I installed dim pro and rapture and none of them feature in Platinum these are my go to synths. How do I get Platinum to see them????

For the Dim Pro and Rapture issue try a full reset and rescan of plugins:

The knowledge base article was written for X3, but is still applicable to the current release.

I'll second the suggestion to let Sonar recreate the AUD.INI file. Just move the original someplace safe after you shutdown Sonar, then restart. If it does not make any improvements, you can always put the old one back.
