 +Had some drop outs when playing back Classical Blaze near the end when using the Behringer Mixer/output device. Fixed problem (apparently) by changing the priority in Preferences->Driver Settings->ASIO Panel->ASIO tab-> Application Priority from normal to above normal.

 +===== Troubleshooting =====
 +
 +==== Latency ====
 +
 +When connecting a keyboard through Sonar to Garritan piano using ARIA VST plugin, was experiencing a lot of latency. Tried adjust sound settings, even changing out the sound module. 
 +
 +On temporary solution was to remove one of the unused VST synth instances which was an ARIA VST plugin. Fixed problem immediately. Perhaps there is a practical limit to the number of ARIA VSTs in a project.  5/29/2017
 +
 +However the problem returned. There is a button "PDC" Plugin Delay Compensation that when lit, seems to turn off the latency. Read about this
 +
 +  * https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR%20X3&language=3&help=Recording.23.html
 +
 +Also noticed that the FX button, which turns off audio effects, had effect on the strange latency 6/1/2017
 +
 +The problem manifests when the following are true:
 +
 +   * Garritan piano using ARIA VST plugin is active
 +   * The MIDI channel for the piano is active, which causes MIDI echo to be engaged
 +   * There is an instance of Sforzando elsewhere in the project
 +   * That Sforzando has an audio effect attached.
 +   * The Sonar project is saved
 +
 +When the Sforzando instance is deleted, or frozen (which causes an Audio file to be created and played from), the latency problems appear to go away.
 +
 +Tried to research if Sforzando is causing Latency, and if that can be turned off, but haven't discovered anything yet. Noticed that I had the Sforzando in a combined track (MIDI plus Audio) which was hiding an audio effect that I had added - a EQ from Sonar (trying to remove lows). When I turned off that effect (and saved the Sonar project), problem stopped.
