I switched from Cubase to sonar 4 a long time ago because the MIDI
recording timing was ROCK SOLID, unlike the flaky Cubase. I have had
no problems whatsoever since. Now I made the plunge into Sonar 6 for
the audioSnap feature, which I am happy with but my MIDI recording had
deteriorated. I run on a dual processor XP machine with 2 gigs of RAM.
I switch between Asio4all and Line6_Toneport_Asio Drivers. Both
produce the same results. Latency reports at around 4 msec and that's
fine. Hit a key and the delay is indeed 4 msec, press play and play
along and it's all good. As soon as I hit record the latency jumps to
around 150 msec. Any ideas.

In Sonar audio options I have:
Read and write caching unchecked
Driver Mode Asio
Dither powr-3
Use multiproc engine
Play effect trails
Asio reported latency says 241 and I have it checked (Seems odd)

Hoping someone can help, Cakewalk hasn't.

Latency for ASIO affects audio, not MIDI. When you say you are having
trouble recording MIDI do you really mean you are recording a MIDI input
stream, or are you recording audio output from a keyboard? Are you
recording MIDI input but rendering it to a synth and hearing the audio
from the synth?

A little more details please on what exactly you are doing, using, what
tracks are enabled and using what synths, effects, etc., please provide
specific details about your project and setup.

There is really no reason for Sonar 6 to behave any different than Sonar
4 on the same machine and same hardware, as far as I am aware.

I use a midi controllor keyboard through a midisport uno usb cable
into a record enabled midi track in sonar. I then have the output from
that track fire a cakewalk soft synth such as TTS. While Sonar is in
play mode the delay between keytap and sound is negligible. When I
press record in Sonar the delay between keytap and sound immediately
becomes noticeable.

Waiting to hear TTS-1 respond is audio latency not MIDI latency...

What is your sound card or onboard sound module, that you are playing
the audio back through?

Disable the FX trails until you get the latency issue resolved.
