JoseC, thank you so much for bringing this up. Wish I had found it much much much earlier. This issue is still present in the latest version of Sonar by Bandlab as of 25th November 2020. As soon as I turned that checkbox off, my MIDI tracks are timed with the audio tracks magically. Along with getting audio glitches when recording, latency adjustments, buffer adjustements and about $3K in trying different audio interfaces, this Record-Count-in Metronome checkbox timing anomaly complicated my near-daily troubleshooting efforts greatly over the past 7 months. Finally, today for the first time, I am getting clean, tightly-synchronized playback of MIDI and Audio tracks & a clean recording of the output Busses (from a Yamaha M7CL) into 16 stereo audio tracks. My interface is a brand-new RME Fireface 802 over USB connected to a custom workstation with 20 cores (40 virtual cores) 64GB RAM, SSD scratch disks for audio and video work and a RAIDed setup of 2TB Seagate mechanical drives. RME latency is at 2.9msec/128 samples and is stable. So thank you Jose and the gentlemen above for looking into this.
