Solved Sonar Platinum Punch in Vocal track in wrong place

First time I've tried punching in with Platinum.  I had a song completed but the singer decided to redo the vocal track.  We started at the beginning and part way through the singer messed up.  I stopped the recording and punched him (it was after an instrumental break) and he recorded to the end of the song.  When I stopped the recording and went back, the punched in portion had changed position.  For example I punched him in at marker point 52, but after the recording stopped the punched in portion was positioned at marker point 45.   I did it several times and each time it did the same thing.  I closed down Sonar, restarted and tried again and it still did the same thing.   I finally had the singer redo the entire vocal track (he was able to go through the complete song) and it recorded OK. 
 
I've punched in singers many times with X3 Producer and older versions.  This is the first time I've done it with Platinum.  I haven't changed anything in Sonar - its the defaults.
 
The fix, as I posted, As WDM works. I deleted the aud.ini file, restart Sonar with the WDM mode.  Switched to ASIO and it worked!   brundelfly's suggestion of the aud.ini seems to be a key or at least a key in this.

Jack,
 
I had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago and never did figure out what was the cause. I thought it was just me. Strange!!
 

I don't think it was a driver problem with my Roland Studio-Capture.  It was recording when I punched in, just that after the recording was done Sonar repositioned it.  The driver can't reposition what was recorded.   

I recorded a new track (complete track) and it worked OK, no "repositioning".   There was a space at the beginning as there was the count in and the instrumental intro before the voice track started and it didn't reposition that. 

Ran into the exact same issue today. Still on X3e as a result of trying to recover from Q1 snow delays, but have run into this on numerous occasions when tracking vocal takes. It appears to be related to either punching in takes on a loop or using the metronome count in. if I get a 24 hr break, i'll try to document a repeatable set of conditions.  

As far as I know, the count-in issue always makes audio late, whereas the issue in this case was with audio being laid down early.

Some more testing this morning.  I can duplicate it every time with Platinum.  I tried it with my Roland Studio-Capture and then with my Roland Octa-Capture.  
 
However, I tried it with X3 and it DOES NOT do it.  So, its a valid problem with Platinum.

brundelfly, I tried aud.ini file, renamed it to origaud.ini.  Let Sonar create a new one and the same.   I then uninstalled the Roland Studio Capture, rebooted and did a fresh install.  Still the same problem.

My "punch in" does not use the punch in feature.  I just play (space bar) and press "R" when I want to record, the press space bar to end it.
 
I "think" I'm on to an ASIO driver problem (or a problem with ASIO in Sonar) as I just tried WDM and didn't have the problem.  I did a reinstall on the Roland Studio Capture drivers but that didn't help.  I created a new aud.ini file but that was with the ASIO drivers and that didn't fix it. 
 
As WDM works, I'm going to give the aud.ini another shot.  I'm going to delete it, restart Sonar and use the WDM mode.  If that works I'm going to switch to ASIO and see if that fixes it.   brundelfly's suggestion of the aud.ini seems to be a key or at least a key in this.

Just to chime in. I have never experienced a problem like this until the other day. I was loop recording a guitar part and the recorded audio would be late by a measure or two. I did have the metronome on and a count in of 1 measure. If I disabled the looping it works with no problems.
 
Seems to me a bug has crept in to Platinum. Hoping to hear if Cakewalk can reproduce.

Thanks for the info Fireberd and Brundlelfly! I will see if that also fixes the looping and recording problem.
