Latency after recording!!!

I've been working with sonar for a while now and there has been no problem untill recently... I have sonar x1 d producer. and I'm currently working with a tascam us-1800 interface and the problem is that when I record and playback what i finished recording (even though I recorded persay drums with the metronome) when I play back the audio recorded it seems that it's delayed and off time... I try moving the audio and it seems to work but It really bugs that I have to do that for every single track... can somebody help me? 

I'm working with windows 7 64bit, 8ram, i7 sony vaio. 

If the delay is consistent (happens in all projects on any track), you can compensate for it automatically with the Manual Offset adjustment. The value entered is the number of samples to nudge the recorded clip over (it will be a negative value).

I find the most accurate way to determine the amount of correction is to drive an external synthesizer from a MIDI track and record the audio. The MIDI note clearly shows where the audio should land. All you have to do is calculate how many samples behind the audio is (set the counter to show samples rather than time and zoom in) and enter that into the Manual Offset textbox.

As Daveny5 is saying, if you are monitoring in the wrong way you can end up playing along to your systems latency, Tascam has mediocre latency ( mine is 7ms  @ 44.1 and 12ms  @ 48.  

This is a little OT, but I got curious.
Elsewhere I have read that using higher sampling rates you can get lower latency. How come in your case it's the opposite?
Many users of, say, 96 kHz SR give the lower latency as one of the reasons they sacrifice so much HDD space for audio.
Or is it different with soft synths vs. audio only?

Hey, I don't know why mine does this, probably Tascam's crappy drivers rearing their ugly head again.

 I have never tried changing the settings and running the centrance test, I'm just looking at Sonar's reported latency. 
Because I'm only messing around with my own material and my own band right now, 44.1Hz is more than high enough quality for my ears. 
If I ever go back into charging money for recording I wouldn't dream of using this kind of low end equipment. It's why I don't offer full album service, I just do mine and live stereo mixes. If people are paying they should get professional help and equipment. I would want to try an Apple system first   ;-
