Export of audio to MP3 or Wav always seems to miss out the first approx. 20 seconds of the mix I am exporting it is silent

In the new SONAR, when I export my project mix to an audio file, with the start time set at the very start of the project, the audio file that is exported misses out the first 2o seconds or so of the mix which is silent. I have set the export dialog to use 'entire mix' and 'entire project' and indeed the Start Time is 1:01:00 which is the start of the piece, but whatever I do the exported audio misses the start of the piece, it only plays from a point within the audio, which is extremely frustrating. Has anyone experienced this problem and is there a solution please?

NOTE: I have found a 'workaround' if that is what you can call it. That is to insert a long set of blank time measures at the start of the project, around 10-12 measures, so that the exported audio has a long lead-in time but it at least contains the actual start of the mix. The problem with that of course is that I then had to edit the exported file to remove the blank lead in, and of course that edit will have to be done outside of SONAR.
