Hi;
 
I use Sonar X3 and have EZ Drummer 2.  I've been wanting for a long time to run the individual instruments out of EZD and into their own tracks in Sonar but cannot find how to do this.  All I know is that you have to get into the mixer in EZD and pull down the drop down from each instrument and assign them to a new channel number but I cannot find out where to go from there.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Those are NOT midi channels\numbers they are output #'s.  I use the CAL splitnotestotracks to separate the drums to individual tracks. I also save drumsets after changing outputs to a preset with Indv outs at the end of the preset name. Like Nashvilkee_indvOuts
There may be a better way but I have been doing like this forever, as in decades. It works for mew and is very quick

Here are a couple of videos that show you how to do it.

In a nutshell, you assign the outputs of EZdrummer as you have already said to the different outputs, IE kicks - 1, Snares-2, HH-3, Tom1- 4 ... OH-10-11 etc. Then you create an audio track in Sonar and point it's input to be from EZdrummer out X.

Are you recording midi notes or audio? I ask because my answer was for midi notes specifically.

I tried what reginald suggested and it did work, but there appeared to be no way to record it to the tracks.  There was a Mute button, a Solo button and an Audio button (no Record).  When I pushed the Audio and Solo buttons they laid down a stereo audio track, but even though I saved it, the audio track disappeared when I re opened the project.  I was hoping to do this as MIDI data on the tracks as Stratman does, but the audio way is OK.  I just would like to be able to record (save) the audio.
 
Thanks

If you bounce the tracks it will generate the audio files.

In the EZD Mixer you've selected an output channel for the kick, and in Sonar you have an audio track with its input set to the EZD output channel for the kick.  Arm the audio track for recording and press R.

But I don't have a Record (R) button.  I have a Mute (M) button, a Solo (S) button and an Audio (graphic of an audio wave).  How do I produce a Record (R) button.  Thanks.

You can't RECORD in EZD (as far as i recall, as it's been a few years).
Send the EZD channels out to Sonar/ CbB, and record in the DAW as opposed to in the synth.

John, are you trying to play and record the MIDI, or are you using the MIDI loops in EZD?
If using the loops, just bounce the MIDI track.
If you want to record your own playing, you will record to the MIDI track then bounce.
