RECORDING BUS OUTPUT TO TRACK

Is there any possibility to record bus output to track? Or at least digitally route the sound card output to one of inputs without using patch bay?  
I do have sonar x3e and sonar vstudio 700 set.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick and fast reply.
You are right this is not what I want, one of the things I want to export is the built in metronome. I already read some posts but they were belong to older version of sonars. I am wondering if the new version make it come through?

Well, you could route the metronome to one of the other v700 outs, and connect that output with a TRS cable to a free input and record that way. You'd probably have to adjust for latency after though. Maybe the external insert plugin could help with that, not sure. There's no "inside the box" way of doing what you want to do.
 
This is a feature I'd like to see in a future update. All kinds of ways it could be handy.

I'd say this isn't a feature, for the fear of the infinite feedback loop.
It would be very easily done,  
more so, more newbies are likely to do it and have problems, than people using the feature.
on the rare occasion i'vI've needed to do anything like it, I bounce, as it's much quicker than routing out and back in and then playba k recording.
as far as building metronomes goes, all the sounds are in the media browser so you can quickly get say 4 bars made up in an audio track and them groove clip it, to extend it to as much as you need.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Sidechain Mixer plug-in because the recording on the track occurs before the effects bin.
You will get a blank track if you try it.

it is about 15 years I always make my metronome manually but just wanted to know if it is possible to record it instead .
as far as I know in protools and logic you can record from your bus to track .


I used to had vmc7200 console and I could route the path directly from inside the mixer and was not necessary to use patch bay but it seems in v studio 700 wouldn't allow you to do that.
