help i need help with recording

[Deepblu]

when I record something, it sounds in time but when I play it back or record something else or the first part it's out of time by a 1/16 of a note, I've looked in the metronome settings maybe I'm missing what u need, but I don't know how to fix it

What interface and driver mode (preferably ASIO), what buffer setting, what are you recording (MIDI, soft synth audio, hardware synth audio, DI guitar, miced instrument/voice), and are you direct-monitoring through the interface or by Input Echoing the recording track in Sonar? If recording audio, what does Sonar show for Record Latency Adjustment in Preferences > Audio > Sync and Caching?

[Bass Guitar]

To record audio in sync with your Daw you need an Audio Interface that uses an ASIO driver. 
 

Not- Asio4all

Not- Realtek asio

Not-  Generic ASIO

But a reputable brand that supports your OS.

Audio?  Or MIDI?
