Problem solved.
Lemme 'splain.
I feel really stupit, but I think what happened when I was working fast and Sonar crashed is that somehow the master fader strip had the output switched.
I tried unplugging the interface, wait, re-plug & all that. Then I felt directed to open up another song file. I examined all of the strip(s) settings, and when I went back into the troublesome file, noticed where the anomaly was.
Thanks for all your help guys. Also, I created track templates for every single soft synth in my list. I recently got the Arturia Analog Experience Laboratory 49, and that was the first one I set up. I didn't realize just how many nice synths come with Sonar, as I only dabbled in the Groove Synth to a small degree (don't like its minimal adjustability) and the PSYNN II, which I think is great. The Arturia is still my "go to" pick for analog stuff, but nice to know there's other stuff in my tool box. The Pure Piano is nice along with the TSS-1, and for other sample based stuff, orchestral & stuff, I use the E-MU Proteus VX which was a free download from their site a few years back.
