There should be no delay compensation affecting soft synths unless you have mastering plugins in the project that use a look-ahead buffer.
Are you input monitoring through SONAR when tracking instruments? If so, there would be no reason for soft synths to have more latency than live input. Possibly what you're experiencing is a MIDI input delay. What are you using for a MIDI interface?
In any case, you might want to check your actual ASIO latency using the free CEntrance Latency Checker, and compare it to the Round Trip latency reported to SONAR by the driver. You can set the Manual Offset to correct for any discrepancy when recording . This won't affect real-time monitoring latency, but it's good to know how much 'hidden' latency your interface adds to the buffer latency, and to have the record compensation dialed in.
