Desperately Need Help connecting Sonar Platinum with Behringer X32!!!

The X32 is a beast.  I run one for live mixes at church on Sundays.  It is infinitely configurable.  I have never used one as a control surface or interfaced with a pc, though.
It is a beast. And its scaring the poop out of me right now. Definitely intimidating!
 
You need to make sure your physical connections and digital (internal routing) connections match for inputs and outputs. Understood

Ok, Kevin; I have a lot of sympathy for your situation because I am currently in the throes of attempting to learn DaVinci Resolve and the whole video editing shtick. I've found myself in a new world where all the lingo is new, and every little thing has a gigantic back story with additional complexity attached to it.
 
Thank you for the sympathy. Knowledge is power and the more we learn new things, the closer we come to achieving our goals and dreams. I wish you much luck in your new endeavor.
  
It seems you haven't had the 'training wheels' of a simple 4-channel or 8-channel interface, and now you've jumped into a world-class peloton by getting an X32 as your first interface. Although we might wind up doing a TeamViewer-with-Skype session to get this all sorted, here's some more info:
 
Yes, I dove right in with the big boys didn't I? I figured why not learn now on the console/interface that I want to ultimately use for years to come. I think a skype session would be quite helpful for someone like me. We could then combat trial & error in realtime.
 
ASIO does things in stereo pairs, and numbers the pairs with the tradition of odd-channel is left.  Therefore, it's perfectly correct to see 32 channels represented as 16 pairs with odd numbers.  Sonar (and all DAWs) allow you to arm (enable) just one half of a pair for recording if you wish.
 
That's great to know.
 
There is a 48v button on the X32 console.  For the channel you select on the console, it'll be lit orange if the phantom power is on.  Press it to toggle the phantom on or off.
 
I found the button and triggered it for channel 1 which is my mic input and it ultimately brought life to my mic.
 
Connect your active Rokit speakers to the main-L/R out ports of the X32.  The default routing for main-L/R of the X32 (full size one) is via XLR-out 15/16.
 
I have done this and can now my voice sound coming from the monitors! Hurray!
 
By default, the monitor output of the X32 is 'strapped' across the main-L/R output in a pre-fader (not affected by the fader/slider position) mode, and the headphones go along with it.  Headphone mixes are marvelous world of their own.
 
This is one of the areas that have me stumped. If not affected by fader position, how do I control the monitor/headphone volumes independently? There will be times that I want to hear the singer live through the monitors while the singer hears him/herself through the headphones but I need each to be able to have there volumes adjusted independently.  I want to also be able to hear through both during playback.
 
When singing into the mic, keep your gain setting so that the first two orange lights for that channel are blinking. That'll put you in the -18dBFS -to- -12dBFS sweet spot in Sonar.
 
Done.
 
On that Routing>>Home tab of the X32, you'll see the word 'Local 1-8'.  My earlier append was intended to ensure that the first 8 XLR inputs in the back of the X32 are going to be the first 8 inputs for Sonar.  
 
This makes the most sense for my application.
 
When you arm a track for recording and then used the little pull-down menu to choose and input, you'll see 1-left/right/stereo, 3-left/right/stereo, etc.  As you can see, input-2 is implicitly 1-right, and input-4 is implicitly 3-right.
 
I assume you're referring to Sonar here and not the X32. In Sonar under each track, I see these options in the pull-down menu for outputs but not for inputs. My options for inputs are: 1. None 2.  Select track inputs 3. Select track input series and 4. New patch point. I tried messing with these but no luck.
 
I want to also mention that I see no activity on Sonar anymore. Its as though my DAW somehow became disconnected from the X32. Moving my sliders on the X32 no longer moves them in Sonar and vica versa. Could that have happened when I made the most recent changes according to your instructions?
 
I do feel like I'm gaining ground here Gary and am learning with your help so again, thank you for getting me this far. I noticed that you're in North Carolina which is the same time zone as mine in Ohio. Would a Skype session sometime tonight or tomorrow night be feasible for you? I would love to be able to record over the weekend. Let me know if its possible. If not, we can continue this way for now.
