Hay all.
Not sure about this, I did try it out, and it seemed to work for me...as I do not know how to yet bounce midi to audio yet in sonar.
I opened up a old midi file of xg type to play with vsti and get to work on setting it up with differing things like AD2 for drums.
I was able to select the AD2 output as a audio track input...and record it.
Did that for the bass, Viola, and Cellos....Worked ok for me so far.,....But I do have a very good audio setup with lots of ways to route things.
Just thought I would chime in...just in case all else fails.
