    Can you elaborate, please?

    And just a curious question, why 8 GB of memory if you run only 32-bit Sonar?  It cannot access all of that.

    like when i hit the back to zero key (RTZ) my audio drops out until i press spacebar again. which is really distracting when i got a guy in the booth and i need to talk/listen to him. 

    also i use 32 bit because some of my plugins arent 64bit friendly.

    namely image-line's plugins. 


    even on my most loaded projects i only ever use 25% of my ram

    I think the default behavior for W (bound to RTZ) is to return the cursor to the 0 point of the project (or to the Now Time marker), and to stop there.
    That's what it does here (The audio engine doesn't stop for me, the project stops).
    When I press the Rewind Button ("Start/Stop Rewind", IE "<<") in the Transport Module, it rewinds half a measure for each press, and the project immediately resumes playing from that time, no dropouts.
    So - are you having a drop out, or are you concerned about the fact that the audio is stopping?

    Seems like I had a similar problem before checking "play effect tails after stopping" in Pref->Playback and recording. Or I may be hallucinating. Try it and see if it helps

    ill try that. the problem is that all live monitoring stops when i return to zero. which is a problem if i want to stop a take, talk to the vocalist, and then re-take. 

    maybe i should make a video...

    Hope you get it figured out. The only time I've had audio engine drop outs is when over taxing an underpowered pc. Checking the play effect tails helped for a few more tracks/plugs.

    Are you using a blank audio track as a talk-back channel? If you click the audio engine button are you saying the input echo is disabled?
    A video would help to see how your setup.
