Metronome is off beat

I am really confused and never had this issue before. I am running Sonar Platinum with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. At the most basic level, I am having a problem. As a test, I create a new project in 4/4 time and enable the metronome. I then play a vsti simple 1/4 notes for one measure, right along with the metronome and when I play back, the notes are all 1/2 beat away from the click. So, if I play on the 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, it records. When I play back, the click and the notes I played are off. If I look at the events, all of the notes are on the :480 and not on the :000. Of course, this makes it impossible to work with. Any suggestions why this is happening? I am listening through headphones because I thought that would eliminate latency. What would cause this to happen. It sounds great while recording the notes.

I also notice that when playing back, the notes I play are earlier than the click. How is it possible to play before measure 1 beat 1? That makes no sense.

I just built this system and it includes an i7 cpu, 32 GB ram, SSDs, etc. Performance should definitely NOT be an issue. Thanks.

Once again, no responses and once again, I got it to work by changing a value in Sonar from 250 to 20 (I think it was some delay setting). All good. Now for another thread.
 
Change your Buffer settings. To the left decrease latency. To the right decreases playback cltches.
