Help with session drummer

I created a drum pattern with step sequencer. I'm solo'ing each part in the sessiondrummer mixer and bouncing to the respective tracks. The only drum parts that won't bounce correctly is the kick and hi hat. After bounce many kick /hi hat hit are missing. I don't what else to do to get these two parts to bounce correctly. All the other parts bounced fine. Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Thanks Alex. I know about the different ways to setup session drumer, the problem is it's not bouncing all the midi to audio on the kick and hi hat so on the bounced track there are missing parts. It won't bounce all the parts.

I've run in to this too Bob.

One thing you can try to do is raise your Midi Playback buffers.

Go in to Preferences, Midi, Playback And Recording, and raise your buffers there. Apply, exit Sonar, and restart it.

The other thing you may have to do is a live bounce. I had a couple projects that no matter what I did every other beat of the Hi-Hat would be skipped.

Another tip for freezing Session Drummer 3 is, go in to the Mixer in SD3. See the icons of the drums/cymbals/touchpad ... right click on the ones you are not using and select 'Unload'. Those will be skipped when you freeze or bounce. Otherwise, all 12 tracks will go through the process of being frozen, even if they aren't being used.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. None of them worked unfortuanately. I didn't try putting it in a new project yet. I really shouldn't have to go thrugh all this for a simple task.

if your cpu gets bogged down your midi will miss note
 are saying you bounced each clip or frezzing them
i always frezze the synth tracks when there tweeked as practice
 and if so frezze the main session drummer track it should frezze them all
 work well since i create a new audio track for bass and snare and send SD to those tracks keeping them all in 1 track folder so i frezze the intire kit .
 bouncing a clip is only useful for things like vvocal and such.
 just a shot in the nightlighness
 i get this on large projects. when im running 20 synths,or more. this is the only way to get there sounds right

What did you set the "Playback Prepare buffers" in Edit > Preferences > MIDI > Playback and Recording? It should be at least 500ms.

I still have the small project it happened to me on. I gave up on it, but I'm the type that can't bring myself to delete anything so I still have it.

It consisted of 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1 kick, 1 snare, and 1 hi-hat.

I never could get the hi-hat to work. It would just not trigger on every other beat. The only thing I could do was to export the track in real time (not fast bounce) and select 'audible bounce'. Then it would work.

Sometimes it just happens ... :(

BTW ... quick OT question ... how do you like that HS10W Sub? I have a pair of the 80M's and was thinking of getting the matching sub.

Bub, The HS10W works great. You just have to place it and adjust it right so you don't get too much bottom.

Bub, Bouncing in real time works so at least I'll be able to get it done. Thanks. We should refer to or change the name of Sonar X2 to workaround X2. 

somrtimes sonar makes me walk way, i get so confused. like tonight i was trying some dem pro scractch samples. i found a good one opened dem pro again to add another layer, Crash and frozzup 3 times i tryed it.
also movin the pencil tool in the vocal bus to fix a level crashed it the sameway. just some thing to rememeber ,on workaround x2
fresh head tommorow i hope brings the workaround fairy to my house with my coffee.
 same project in x1 ran flawless. i always use x1 now its safeness
