I think you are just seeing the fussiness of touch sensitive faders (or devices in general).  The fader has to sense your touch.  This is going to vary based on the conductivity of your skin, humidity, pressure, etc.  Dry skin/low humidity=less sensitivity.  High humidity, moist skin=more sensitivity.  For guitar players it is common that the heavily calloused fingers of the fretting hand isn't as good at triggering the sensitivity.  I have had several touch sensitive control surfaces - VS-700, Mackie, AlphaTrack - and they all exhibited this exact same behavior.  A good solid touch of the fader is the best approach although I have heard some people that have tried hand lotion to keep their hands moisturized.  I have never been that bothered by the problem to try it.

Good luck.

Don - I think You hit the nail on the head, at first i thought you were suggesting that i was ashey or some isht ... hahaha.... just kindin... but i was already aware of the sensitivity settings, mainly because i had tuned them down thinking that maybe they were just to sensitive (backwards), I think i had them set to around 50% or so... But after your post i revisited "Shif CTR Mute" and turned them up to 100% (max lv = 127) and now the faders are operating as expected...  So i guess that sesitivity setting could be used as a bump deterrent, as Stra had sugested... Thanks Alot Don

Good "advice"

Ok, Sense i have you guys attention, I have another thing that has been nipping at me... why is it that whenever I patch a synth it seems to takes up two faders on the 700, One seems to be the audio track and the other the midi... Hiding or minimizing the audio track makes the fader disappear, but you sacrifice the meter monitoring on the 700, and hiding the midi well hides the midi... Theirs so many way to explain the issue that i dont know where to begin... like is there a way to patch a synth, while creating one track that shows on track one on the 700?...  Anyway, im sure you guys have an idea of what im speaking of... 

In advance,
Gunn

Update: Is this the case with the new X1

You want both tracks visible. You could make an instrument track but you need seperate controls for each side of the synth. don't know why you'd want to hide one. ???

Hey Crg,

My issue is that Sonar takes up two faders for one "stereo" track on the 700... when you create a track from opening the synth rack, the 700 shows the Midi track assigned to one fader (the problem) and another track that the audio playing is assigned to that has meter leveling... I dont need to see the track the midi is using while im on the 700, it has no value in the mix... i only need to see the track that is supplying the level meter... Why would i need two outputs (700 faders) for one Stereo track?... Its a stereo track-k right? (singular)...  If I was creating two mono track (L+R) it would be understandable. but the midi track is just using up a faders.. Both faders on the 700 will control the exact same signal from sonar, there is no left and right split. Not to mention how it throws off the matching of tracks to the 700 faders ...

4instance:

If i was starting a fresh project using two different synths at the same time, and without changing or hiding anything, The 700 would show the first fader as the Midi (no meters) just stereo volume control, and the second fader as the audio (with leveling meters) and volume control (in stereo). that would be two stereo tracks for one instrument.. Then the second instrument would do the same, for a total of 4 faders being used on the 700... Thats 4 faders for two midi tracks... U know what im sayin?

Now u can alway hide a track (audio or midi) but say if you hide the audio track, it removes itself from the 700, but now your stuck with no metering of that track, and if you hide the midi you have no midi clips showing in sonar while in the track view.

its like we have to trade one for the other, or deal with having one track that needs two faders on the 700... (why?)

As usual, im expecting it to be some sort of setting that alludes me, but untill then its kind of annoying..uno?
... Also, yes i am fully aware of the Console Strip Visibility, it really has nothing to do with my issue, that i can see.

Thanks for the reply CRG
