Latency with Audio - What I hear vs What's recorded, Out Of Sync Audio

I’m a long time Sonar user (since 4) and I’m having a problem with Sonar Platinum that I can’t say I’ve ever encountered before.
When I record audio, I can hear the monitoring in the correct time (latency) however, when I playback the audio is out of sync with the tune. The audio clips ends up being recorded BEFORE I was actually playing.
 
So when I play/sing what I hear is in time. When I listen to what I played/sang it’s distinctly too early. The obvious answer would be “Are you sure you performed it right?” The short answer, yes.
 
So I’m either monitoring it too late, or it’s recording too early. SUPER frustrating!!
 
Anyone experience this? Should I increase the latency? Increase/decrease the Recording I/O in Preferences?
 
Thank you much for any input!

    Hi, and welcome to this forum. To best be able to help you, it would be easier if you told us your specs (cpu, RAM etc), Audio Interface, driver mode and the latency settings you are using. I am sorry to be of no more help at the moment. Report back, and I am sure someone will figure it out.
    All the best.

    Sounds like automatic record latency compensation is overcompensating. What interface are you using, what is your ASIO buffer size, what does SONAR report for Input/Output/Total latency, and do you have any Manual Offset entered?
     
    If SONAR is over-compensating with zero Manual Offset, I recommend you use something like the free CEntrance latency tester to measure the actual round-trip latency, and see if possibly you need to enter a negative Manual Offset because the interface driver is reporting more than actual input latency to SONAR.
