I own Sonar Platinum for my use at home, but I bought MC7 to use at another location just for tracking. At $19.99 I figured it was a great deal and it's simple interface would work for what I needed.
 
I did a loopback test and found the recorded audio was not lined up with the original.
 
In Sonar I can adjust for this in the preferences. I realize that setting doesn't exist in MC7, but my question is if there is any way to adjust this. Maybe a .INI file or registry entry?

There should be.
Doesn't pressing P on the computer keyboard bring up Preferences in MC 7?

I can get to Preferences. But it seems in MC7 there is no setting call Record Latency Adjustment as there is in Platinum. I was wondering if there is ANY way to do this.

What audio interface are you using?
Does the interface use ASIO drivers?
That needs to be adjusted in the interface's software.
Beyond that, someone with more experience in the new software will have to help you.
I'm shocked they took that setting out since that is one of the main complaints of newcomers ("there's a delay in the sound!!!!").

Thanks scook. Guess if I use this software I'll have to manually adjust.
 
@57Gregy.......What happens is that your audio interface reports its latency to your DAW and your DAW automatically adjusts so things line up. The problem is that the number that gets reported is sometimes not right on the money. You can do a "loopback test" to determine just how far off things are. So some software allows you to adjust, + or -, the reported number so that things line up exactly.
The delay you're talking about, that people complain about, is similiar, but usually caused by people having buffer setting too large when trying to record.
 

I am guessing the remote site may be using the software while you are not there and this is why you purchased MC7. If this is not the case and the software will only be used while your are there, you may install and use Platinum at the remote location. The license does not allow concurrent use on multiple machines but you may install the product on more than one machine as long as only one machine at a time is running SONAR.

Yes that's the case. I have a second recording setup at my daughter's house and it may be used sometimes when I'm not there. For $19.99 this seems like a good solution. I'm familiar with it and would use it mostly for tracking.  I don't know if the $19.99 was just for me as a Sonar owner, or a special price for a time, but it seems like a great deal for someone just getting into this.

It is an intro price, no previous purchase required and is a lot of DAW for the money.

yes, it's going to be regularly $49, but even at that price it's still a LOT of DAW for the money.  for $20 it's a steal!
