Hi, Sonar X3 user. I've been using RMX with Sonar for years with no problems.
All of a sudden it's gone out of sync when triggering in the Slice Menu. If I select Next Beat or Next 16th or Next Bar it doesn't trigger on cue when I hit RMX's play button.
If I drop a midi file from RMX into Sonar it works fine but it's just not syncing when I'm trying to audition beats.
 
Any clues as to what might be the problem?
 
 

A large buffer size can cause this problem.  Go to preferences, audio, driver settings, to check.  Try a smaller buffer size if you can.

As shawker says, check your latency settings. It would be easier to help if you shared your specs. Audio interface (and which drivers), CPU, RAM etc.
Best of luck.

Thanks but buffer setting is only 64 samples as it is.....I tried 32 but the audio started suffering and no change anyway.
 
Interface is a Focusrite Scarlet 18i20
8Gb RAM
Processor Intel i5-4670 CPU @ 3.40GHz
 
As I mentioned, everything has been working fine for months - this has just come out of the blue.

What happens if you increase the buffer to 128? Could it be that your session is getting bigger, and need more time to compensate? You should still be getting around 10ms RTL.
What is your MIDI playback buffer? Try to increase, or decrease it.
Best of luck.

Are you using the latest ASIO drivers, downloaded from focusrite?
 

Do you have a way to try Stylus outside of Sonar?  I use savihost so I have a standalone version of Stylus to play around with.  This may help narrow down where the problem lies.  It doesn't sound like Sonar is the problem if the midi file plays Ok there.

Do you have any Stylus settings in Time Designer or Chaos Designer that could affect the timing?

Yes I am

No - I've tried using RMX in a fresh project on its own and the problem still occurs

I guess I could try Reaper

No nothing like that

Did you try to up the buffer to 128?
