Session Drummer 3 - Recording Output

Would like to know how to set up and record the drum tracks from SD3 as individual tracks in X1.  When I insert SD3 with all audio outputs, the created tracks have no record button.  Also, I'm using a MIDI drum machine as a controller but adjusting the sensitivity at the controller does not have any effect.  Any help would be appreciated,  thanks.
 

Have you opened the mixer in SD3 and assigned each instrument to a different track? That's the first step. And you will only have one record button on the MIDI track which will record a single MIDI clip with all the instrument info in there. Then you can freeze like Loptec suggests.

Also make sure you watch the video master class on SD3. Tons of good info there.

Carvin - Start here. Seriously bro. It will answer all your questions and then some.

First off recording MIDI is simply that. There is NO audio associated with MIDI data. Think of it as raw and pretty simple computer type data. Again, there's no audio in MIDI data. So with a DAW like Sonar you record your MIDI data and it will then trigger a soft synth like Session Drummer so you can hear the audio through Session Drummer.

After that's happened you then render that data into an audio file. You CANNOT "record drum audio tracks in real-time with a MIDI controller" you can only record the MIDI data that triggers the soft synth. That can be heard real time (latency ignored) but no 'audio' is recorded real time. It is rendered, bounced, frozen into audio files later.

I've never used the freeze button for recording MIDI into session drummer so I don't why one would use that as usual others will know more.

EDIT: Carvin what are you using for a controller? Sound card? Computer? Do you know the basics of MIDI? Hope I didn't insult you with such a basic explanation.

In any soft synth in Sonar one way is to select the MIDI track and the audio track(s) and go to the 'track' menu and click 'bounce to track.' Choose the source track(s) and destination track in that dbx and you'll end up with separate audio tracks for each drum instrument.

This all assumes you've set up Session Drummer in the mixer like the second response suggested, and that you've watched the drum master class(es) which explains the initial set up, and that you have at least cracked the manual or checked the help file in Sonar for some of these most basic of tasks. Try "converting MIDI to audio" in the help file.
