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.
 

I'm using the loops.  I'm sorry I didn't clarify that.  So are you saying that I should put my loops together in EZD and move them to a MIDI track and then bounce?  Speaking of bouncing, the only bouncing I ever did in Sonar was the "Bounce to clip" function to consolidate MIDI and/audio tracks.  Is this what I'd use to transfer the individual instruments to their own channel?
 
Thanks guys!

Don't forget me.  I'd really like to learn how to do this!
 

I like to setup EZ drummer for 5 outputs.. Kick, Snare, Hat, Toms, Overheads.  As was suggested before.. in Sonar.. you add an audio channel, then assign the input to be the EZ drummer output you want.  I setup the kick audio channel to be mono, snare stereo, hat stereo, toms mono and overheads stereo.  It works great. 

After you get your EZD outputs set up in Sonar, freeze the synth, that will generate audio on each of those output trks.

So, why is NOTHING working for me here?!  I've taken every suggestion and no success.  I even did a little experiment.  I started an EZD and brought in a pattern.  Then I went to EZD mixer and pulled down the drop down for each channel and assigned them out to different channels (ex.  Kick drum to 1, Snare drum to 2, etc).  Then in Sonar I inserted an audio track for each instrument.   When I go to the audio channels input and select the corrusponding output for the channel in EZD (ex audio input 1 to EZD output 1 (for Kick drum) all of a sudden, the RECORD BUTTON for that Sonar audio channel disappears, as does the Echo button, which is replaced by a button that resembles a wave form.  When I push the waveform button and run push play, a waveform (in yellow) shows up on the track, but I can't do anything with it because if I push the waveform button again, the waveform goes away!  If I try to save it, it doesn't come back when I re open it.  Just for a test, if I go into the same audio input and select my Focusrite interface, the RECORD button shows up again.  Why is this so difficult?  Is it just me?  Am I an idiot?  You all have the SAME setup as me (Sonar and EZD 2).  Why am I not getting the same results as you?  I would appreciate somebody give me a step-by-step, if possible. I'm about to bang my head against the wall and since I'm on blood thinner, that wouldn't be a good thing. Thanks!

You have a project in Sonar X3.  You add the EZD2 synth, either as a simple instrument track or with all the outputs.  You route the outputs as already discussed.
 
This....http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=SoftSynths.04.html
 
Now, while in the EZD2 synth you drag and drop the midi song blocks to the midi track in Sonar, enable looping and expand them, move them around and so on.  In any case, you have some number of measures of midi that play in Sonar.
 
This video is about recording Addictive Drums in Sonar, but the steps are basically the same for EZD2....https://youtu.be/iNBbktuoLw0
 
Does this help you?
 
p.s. You must have been adding a post just as I was typing this, so forgive the redundant info.

I did everything, EVERYTHING!!!! THE GUY IN THE VIDEO SAID.  I FOLLOWED STEP BY STEP!  CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE RECORD BUTTON DISAPPEARS WHEN I CHANGE THE INPUT OF THE AUDIO CHANNEL!!!!?????   PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENS!!  I CANNOT ARM THE AUDIO TRACKS BECAUSE THE RECORD BUTTON GOES AWAY WHEN I ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE INPUT OF THE AUDIO CHANNEL.
I'm beginning to think that I't impossible for me to do this because I have aversion of Sonar lower than Platinum!!!

When you drag EZD from the synth rack into anywhere on the track pain, don't you get prompted how you want the MIDI track/folder set up?  There should be an checkbox option to create multiple audio tracks for each output.

No.  I don't get that.  No questions or prompts.  It just moves quietly onto the track.  I can change the audio input if I'm setting up my Focusrite interface to record audio from my microphone, but that appears to be all I'm allowed with an input change, at least if I want to record something.

I took notice on the video when he changes the audio input, there is a box called "MME Devices" and he has it checked.  Could that be the problem?  Mine does not show that "MME Devices" choice.
