solving latency when recording vocals over prerecorded track

I'm just dipping my toe into hip hop producing. really really new. I'm looking for help with latency when recording vocals over a track. I load the track into the the program Sonar 6. record the vocals listening to the beat through headphones. when i play back in the computer the rap is off the beat.

Cubase SX3 ASIO recording Latency problems AGH!

I have Cubase SX3 and I've been trying to tweak out the settings forever now, but no matter what I do it will work fine for a bit, then while recording something, it will be out of time to the click after it's recorded. I try the ASIO Multimedia driver that Cubase automatically installs but I find it to be pretty crappy, or atleast hard to get good settings.

Latency in Colossus

I'm using EastWest's Colossus MIDI software with my USB/MIDI keyboard and I am experiencing a delay that interferes with me trying to play on-time with a beat. I have set the buffer in Colossus's settings as low as it will go (7ms i think). Is the keyboards USB connection going to make any difference than if it were connected with a MIDI cable instead.
