HI there.
 
I haven't had latency issues for a very long time.  I have had no hardware changes.  P7, Quad core, 8MB RAM.  Then last night suddenly I am having latency issues recording a bass guitar whether I use my POD XT or go direct through the mixer.  I have tried adjusting the buffer size but no luck.  Also switched from ASIO to other drivers with no results.  Any help would be appreciated. Any pointers out there?

have you tried if it's just this 1 Sonar project ? 
 

Are you using any different plug-ins than normal?  Could it be latency inducing plugs, such as PC Concrete Limiter, LP64 Multiband Compressor, LP64 EQ, Transient Shaper, Convolution reverb (e.g. Perfect Space), etc?
 
Does latency disappear if you press "E" on qwerty keyboard?
 
Just a thought.

Thanks guys.  I feel like a boob!  I am recording a new bass line in an old project that I had already mixed using plugins that were inserted. Many!  And I didn't turn them off.  Thanks for everything!

what does pressing E do?

Pressing E disables all effects. Hitting it again re-enables them. It's a quick way of discerning whether an effect is the source of the issue.

thanks
