Where would you find this?

I tried bouncing the track but it doesn't work for some reason. I have the AD midi recorded in stereo, I did not set up separate tracks for each drum. Not sure what to do.
Thanks,

Please do take this the wrong way but you may need to go back to the basic tutorials on MIDI and what it means to get audio out from MIDI. 
 
Also, you must have done something wrong with your freeze. A frozen track stays frozen and is available after you close and open a project. Dumb question but did you unfreeze the track before you closed the project?

Actually afatica is correct.  There is no place on the web that describes how to simply record addictive drums (to an audio track).   I know it's basic routing issues, but for some reason it's not intuitive with sonar.  It's easy to get addictive drums going, and sounding through the master bus, but actually recording it is more fuzzy.
 
There's the mysterious transient button, for instance.

For instance this is a great reminder for PRO TOOLS routing, ez as pie.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8__x6xlpAI  But sonar is not as straight forward.

There's no such description (excluding workarounds), because you don't "record" soft synth output in SONAR. You can freeze, bounce or export to render output to an audio file much faster than real-time recording. If any of those don't work, that problem (most likely procedural) can be solved given sufficient detail on what action is being taken, and what the result is.
 
Real-time recording of soft synth output as a SONAR feature is coming:

In the mean time, there are workarounds to record soft synth output in real time, but in this case, freeze, bounce or export should take care of the need.

Thanks Brundlefly,

I will try again today.  Bouncing seems to be the most strait forward way, but in the large box where it says source, there is nothing to choose from, so it will not let me Bounce.  I did click on the Export in the File menu, but the Export option was grayed out so I couldn't do that.  Once I figure this out, I am going to write it down, I love the way the Addictive Drums sound.  This is the first time for me using soft synth drums, and I know there is a way....
Thanks,

Thanks Mesh, and all others who have lent their assistance here.  I am so focused on writing and recording right now that the technical aspects of Sonar are kind of slowing the flow. 
 
Thanks again,
