FWIW having a half-second of latency is not common in any DAW, but it can happen in any DAW because the issue doesn't really involve the DAW. That's why you may not get a response from support (although as mentioned, support for X3 ended last year anyway).

In one of previous threads, I have asked either he has the same delay when playing inside Sonar by mouse. And he has replied there is no delay in that case. If that is ture, that excludes ASIO/PDC/plug-ins from the equation. Leaving Windows with drivers only. Alesis can be bad, but not in 500ms region.
 
I had close to the same once. My TD11 and CN-43 was playing with significant delay. I guess around 70-120ms. ASIO was ok (10ms), but most interesting by MPK Mini also was ok. So, while sound strange, I believe such effect is possible. I have updated windows, disabled Gaming mode and revised power saving features (I can not remember something was wrong here). And everything was normal again. I mean in my case the problems was for sure NOT in Sonar.
 

My apologies everyone for the slow response, I actually solved my issue. It may be a temporary fix that bypasses the problem i was having. Thanks to bitman for the Answer!

I never had anybody mention the PDC button on the ribbon bar. I never tried it actually. My fault, and for the multiple threads I honestly didn't think it would matter, just wanted to post a more "recent" thread. So after some minor adjusting with the buffers in ASIO, I managed to get Quality sound without any Latency!

I hope this helps so many of you out there! Thanks again Bitman! and Thank you all for the suggestions, I actually learnt more here than my previous threads! Thanks to you awesome people! ;)

Really? http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3662837
 

Who knows. I've tried alot of settings, maybe I did try PDC but my ASIO settings might have affected that from working properly. Since I've gotten a new laptop thats windows 10, I've had issues with compatibility. Especially with the Medolyne update. Sonar Crashes with Windows 10 but on my other Laptop thats running windows 8.1... I receive no issues.

I'm not sure what type audio drivers you are using, but for me, I get noticeable latency on every type of driver I use EXCEPT ASIO.   If you're not already using an ASIO driver, you should try switching to that.

When I run ASIO, both my time line and clock freeze.  If it's not one thing, it's another...

Sounds like an Avid interface. There are a couple of threads about their ASIO drivers and similar symptoms.

Welcome to the forums.
You would really benefit yourself by leaving some details like: Soundcard, Windows version, Sonar version, Exc.
 
Unless of course you are just venting. Which we have all done. 
But rather than bump a 5 month old thread (as your first post), ask for help instead

Or possibly a Firewire interfaces that doesn't have the TI chipset ?

I thought that would affect the interface using any driver not just ASIO.
