Addictive Drums Recording Audio

You would have to bounce the MIDI tracks (to audio), to be able to access the audio files. 
I usually use separate out (mono) from AD2 mono out from each AD2 drum, to be able to process the tracks individually.
Best of luck.

Or Freeze the tracks

OK, I did not realize that once I closed the file, I would no longer have the audio track from the frozen synth.  What I really need is to have the midi from the Addictive Drums changed into an audio file that I can keep as audio.  Again, any help here is appreciated.
 
thanks,

File > Export, or go grab the .WAV file for the frozen synth track from the audio folder for the project (or Global audio folder if not using per-project audio folders).
 
 

I did try to bounce the tracks, it didn't work.  Now I am thinking that I make to midi tracks as a stereo file, maybe I didn't have the settings correct when trying to bounce because it did not work at all.  If I freeze the tracks, woyld I be able to just copy the audio track that was bounced and copy and paste it to a different audio track?  Might that work?

I tried bouncing the track but it doesn't work for some reason. I have the AD midi recorded in stereo, I did not set up separate tracks for each drum. Not sure what to do.

Actually afatica is correct.  There is no place on the web that describes how to simply record addictive drums (to an audio track).   I know it's basic routing issues, but for some reason it's not intuitive with sonar.  It's easy to get addictive drums going, and sounding through the master bus, but actually recording it is more fuzzy.
 
There's the mysterious transient button, for instance.

There's no such description (excluding workarounds), because you don't "record" soft synth output in SONAR. You can freeze, bounce or export to render output to an audio file much faster than real-time recording. If any of those don't work, that problem (most likely procedural) can be solved given sufficient detail on what action is being taken, and what the result is.
 
Real-time recording of soft synth output as a SONAR feature is coming:

In the mean time, there are workarounds to record soft synth output in real time, but in this case, freeze, bounce or export should take care of the need.
 
 
 
 

I will try again today.  Bouncing seems to be the most strait forward way, but in the large box where it says source, there is nothing to choose from, so it will not let me Bounce.  I did click on the Export in the File menu, but the Export option was grayed out so I couldn't do that.  Once I figure this out, I am going to write it down, I love the way the Addictive Drums sound.  This is the first time for me using soft synth drums, and I know there is a way....

Thanks Mesh, and all others who have lent their assistance here.  I am so focused on writing and recording right now that the technical aspects of Sonar are kind of slowing the flow. 
 
Thanks again,

For limited size clip AD2 has audio recorder function, drag and drop "wave" at bottom left in AD2 into Sonar track window, after playing/recording it in AD2 (solo individual kit piece/s as desired), but bounce to tracks is simplest/quickest way. I guess you could route a sub-mix analog output back to an analog input, unmonitored (avoid echoed feedback), if you want to go through such an effort, but why not just bounce to track.

So I froze the track, then I copied the audio file from that bounced track onto another audio track. From there I exported it as a wav file and then imported it back into the original project. I know it sounds like a lot of steps, but it did work and now I can move forward with the project. Thanks to all for your help, it's really great to have a community to reach out to.
Best,

I don't think you're missing anything Kevin, I leave my drums as midi permanently.

Nothing wrong with freezing synth tracks!  Especially for older systems where resources can run low.  Or for archival purposes; e.g., if the plugin used for whatever reason isn't available in the future (something I should do more).
 
FWIW, when I freeze I often archive and hide the original synth track so it's no longer using resources.  Or sometimes I'll take that frozen audio, copy the clip to a new audio track, and then mess with it from there.   All kinds of possibilities...

Doh! That makes a heck of a lot of sense. I can also see doing it when you want to send the project out for mixing or mastering by someone else. Thanks!
