2 issues - Bouncing to clips in Platinum, and major dynamic shifts after exporting

My first problem since upgrading to Sonar Platinum after finally moving on from X1 Producer...when I highlight the separate clips in a track and click "Bounce to Clips", they still just remain as separate clips. I'm doing it the exact same way I used to do it in X1 and it just won't make them bounce together.
 
My second problem is that I was just recording something that has an mellow intro that transitions into a huge sounding A part, the transition sounds so strong in Sonar, but then when I export it to a WAV, that A part ends up sounding LOWER than the mellow intro. You can understand how that would defeat the purpose of trying to make that transition sound huge. Any advice on this would be appreciated. 

Here's a Youtube clip a made showing the bouncing process not working...
 
NEVERMIND...wouldn't let me post a Youtube clip...
 
As far as the dynamics...upon looking at the wave form of the WAV file, it looks significantly bigger when it reaches that A part, but certainly doesn't sound significantly bigger like it does in Sonar. Kinda depressing. I do have effects like reverb, compression and EQ on lots of the separate tracks, but that's pretty much it. Nothing crazy. 

Oh, I thought I did it that way! Well, thanks for posting it anyway, at least now it can be seen!

Thanks for the GIF, that's definitely unexpected behavior so let's do some diagnostics.
 
It looks like the track is frozen. Normally if you have two clips in a track and then freeze, they will appear to bounce together but the clips remain separate so that you can return to the unfrozen state. I rarely use freeze, but what happens if you unfreeze, and then either re-freeze or try to bounce the unfrozen clips?
 
Also, what happens if you bounce each clip to itself, and then try to bounce the two together?
 
As to the dynamics issue, I assume you're exporting to a stereo mixed WAV file. If you create a new SONAR project and import that WAV, a) does the waveform look correct, and b) does it sound correct? If not, what does it sound like if you open it in a Windows playback option, like GrooveMusic?
 
Finally...what kind of audio interface are you using? If you're using the computer's internal audio, Windows might have some default "enhancements" that are intended to create consistent levels in a playlist or alter EQ. I've been trapped by this multiple times when creating audio on my desktop machine, bringing it into someone's laptop for playback, and then having it sound horrifying.

Anderton - Thank you for suggesting that I import the exported WAV into Sonar, because the dynamics sound perfect in there, so it must be something that Windows is doing. Just hope it doesn't end up that way on Soundcloud or whatever...
 
I tried bouncing the clips to themselves, and it seems like they won't do that either. They remain as FX clips no matter how many times I bounce them to themselves. Unfreezing and refreezing would probably help more if I hadn't split and pasted the clips around AFTER freezing. "Bounce to tracks" after I've highlighted the clips seems to do what I want, but it creates an extra track in the process, which is kinda inconvenient, but all I need to do is delete the previous track I suppose.
 
chuckebaby - That lasso tool didn't help me bounce the clips either. On those two clips, the effects are Sonitus Reverb and Sonitus Wahwah.

I don't think it will. Today I was using WASAPI and a drum loop sounded horrific - noisy, compressed, just generally sucky. I looked in the control panel and found an entry for "SRS Premium Sound Pro." The "enhancements" box was checked, so I unchecked it. That exorcized the Audio Tools of Satan, which affect only playback on that system.
