Focusrite 2i2 Live MIDI SoftSynth Latency solvede

I was very close to buying a piece of hardware, a MIDI sound module for live record-monitoring, but then figured out how to get a SoftSynth to do live monitoring for live tracking with minimum latency-delay.  PS: This is a windows7 conversation....
1) Use an ASIO driver if available for your audio input/output-device
2) When using effects during tracking, make them a parallel summing to the Master bus, DO NOT put them in series with the path to your output device driver.  So create a second effects bus just for tracking, then assign this bus to the hardware driver directly and assign your tracking soft-synth to your device driver directly during tracking and a AUX send from this track to your new effects bus. (It doesn't matter if a tracking reverb has latency during tracking)....!!!!  Just set the reverb bus totally wet...!!! to blend with into the output driver directly.
4) Be sure to click on the "PDC" button to dis-able the delay-compensation during the tracking.  But be sure to click again to grey-out the button for your final mix-down/playback...
5) Assingn the SoftSynth directly to the device driver during tracking. And I found out that each layer of bus assignment adds delay even without any effects in these bus paths.
6) Make a test project and load it up with a ton of audio tracks (at least 18trx) and also at least 8 MIDI data->to->softsynth tracks.  Make one MIDI track be a keyboard-controller input on top of that.  Then play all the tracks while playing the MIDI controller keyboard.  Keep twiddling the ASIO buffer sizes during the playing mess to to get the latency-delay minimized without glitching or dropout....
7) You can also turn on the metronome and play your controller kbd along with this mess.  When the delay-latency is short you won't have that weird slowing-down experience, so fiddiling with the buffers sizes and playing along with the metronome will help determine a setting that works.   So the goal is to fall somewhere between (not having Sonar glitch-crackle on audio) and not have that slowing down feeling during live playing ie. (while listening to the metronome).  Also to note you can fiddle with the MIDI buffering.  If you make the buffer to small you will experience missing notes.
8)  If you can build a template file that is highly Audio & track/MIDI loaded, but runs flawlessly on your computer system, then you can safely start client projects without any technical stress.  Note:  Be sure to set-and-configure as many soft synths in your project template as you would typically use for most projects.
