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.

 
Okay, don't drag into an existing track.  Drag the EZD synth into a blank area on the track view timeline.  You should then get the dialog.
 

 
I just tried it in a blank project using CWBL

Don't give up.  I suspect this is just some midi configuration issue.  I'm not very versed in that, but certain options will prevent the output of a synth from being recorded.  I just had trouble myself, because I used to have a controller connected to this laptop.
 
Add EZD2 to a blank project as davehorch did, but check Midi Source and First Synth Audio Output.
 
Sonar will create two tracks.  One will have just the midi plug symbol, the other has the midi plug symbol over a keyboard.
 
On the track with just the midi plug symbol, check that the input is set to All Inputs - Midi Omni.
 
On the other track check that the input is set to EZ1 Stereo (the first stereo output of EZD2).
 
Drag a song block from EZD2 and drop it on the track with just the midi plug.  Close EZD2.  Press play.  You should see the meters respond on both tracks and hear the playback.
 
Add an Audio Track.  Set it's input to be EZ1 Stereo (the first stereo output of EZD2)  Press play.  You should see the meters on all three tracks respond and hear playback.  If you also select the Waveform Preview button on the Audio Track you'll see the waveform, but of course it's temporary.
 
Arm the Audio Track.  Press R.  Audio should be recording on the Audio Track.
 
Let us know.
 
 

I'm not at my computer now to check this. But I believe that synth recording was added in Platinum and is not available in X3.

The different modes of Midi was definitely added in Platinum.

X3 Studio in this case.  Hopefully someone will weigh in on version capabilities.
 
Perhaps CbB is an option....

Thanks.  I tried all of the suggestions by olemon above.  They don't come in as split audio/midi, just audio (without the audio button).  I believe it's what  Base57 says and that's a pretty s**tty way for the original Sonar designers to set this up.  You can do this in REAPER for free but you can't do it unless you fork over $500.00 for the top of the line Sonar product!  I realize it's not that way now with the Bandlab setup and I could DL and install CbyB absolutely free, but I hesitate to do that because my Toontrack accounts will only work on 1 DAW and I would have to transfer my licenses over, which I'm not prepared to do right now.  When a time comes when I have to, I will then, but I just don't have the time or patience now to relearn anything.  I have spent days on this and trying all of the suggestions here to no avail.  I'm giving up.  I have a dedicated music computer which I have wasted time and resources on to do something that is not possible with my current setup.  I'm not wasting anymore time and effort.  I'll just continue to use Sonar X3 and EZD2 as I have been (single channel).  I'm finding more and more that it's a good thing that Bandlab bought Cakewalk, because of issues like this (and the ones many here have been struggling with like the lifetime upgrades that never happened), the original owners/management of Cakewalk were not the most fairest people to do business with.  I do sincerely appreciate all of your suggestions and trying to help me with this issue.

I also have Studio One 3 and I don't think there were any issues with it and EZD2 authorizations.  Good luck with whatever you opt to do.

What do you mean Toontrack stuff only works in one DAW? I have Reaper, Sonar X1,X2 and X3 and Splat and CWBandlab installed. It works in all of them. I had Studio One 3 Pro unhindered demo installed and EZ drummer 2 worked fine in it. So did Ez Keys. They do not care how many daws you have on one computer, only how many Computers you install it on.
You are creating headaches for yourself when you have a great program for free staring you in the face.
 
The authorization for Toontrack comes from the computer, not the application.
Download Bandlab CW and get on with it. Simple! It's miles ahead of X3 and is FREE.
 
Also, if you are that worried contact Toontracks and ask them.

That's what I was planning to do.

You really need to understand how all this works. I mean to make your life less stressful.
 
It's all about the computer ID that Toontrack assigned to the computer, NOT to any software app. Not to a program. 
You paid to use Toontrack, on 2 computers as long as you do NOT run them at the same time.
Perhaps that is where your confusion is coming from. That's 2 computers, not 2 software programs

It's been almost 3 years since I installed them but I kind of remember being asked by the configuration part of the program which DAW I would be using it in.
