Mixdown (Export) when using classic external hardware effects (reverbs, etc..) ?

As all us SONAR users know, the easiest way to go for example from a 24/96 multi-track project to a 24/44.1 Stereo WAV file to be used by a Mastering facility to eventually generate a finished CD-compatible 16/44.1 file is to use SONAR's EXPORT function (with all the options for automation, etc.. active).
 
However, here is a question for all you studio guys who might be using things like vintage or classic external non-VST/USB  hardware  (example : Lexicon 480L Reverbs, etc..)   or other external audio path effects via Sends/Returns for some of your effects instead of plug-ins.
 
Obviously the EXPORT feature will not work in this case, because these external hardware effects only receive and return a signal when the project is PLAYING and the audio streams can go out the sends, to the hardware unit, back via the returns and be added to the mix.  (ie... think the analog days and the rack of gear beside the console wen mixing).
 
In this case, you must use some other "2 Track Mastering Recorder" application of some sort to record your SONAR project playing with all the hardware effects returns , etc...
(again , very similar to the analog days where you had some 2 track recorder capturing your mixdown playing with all the effects running, etc..)
Question --
 
For those of you who may be working this way , What application do you use for recording your 2-track stereo mixdown in this type of situation when classic external hardware is being used ?
 
(Note- I know some newer hardware effects can be plugged into USB or firewire and act much like a plug-in .... I am not referring to these .... I am talking about older, vintage or classic hardware units that only handle AUDIO in and out)
 
Thanks
 

If I recall right - and I only experimental a little when sonar got the insert to add hardware - 

But again - If I recall right - you can export it as long as its not a fast bounce - slow real time bounce while listening - and again - if I remember right - it worked fine for me - 

 my external hardware isn't as good as th plug ins I own - so I never really got it to it too deep ...

but yeah - I am like 90 % sure - with the inserts enable just do a real time export of audio worked for me  

Playing the mix (or tracks) out of the interfaces' analog, using external analog hardware, and recording the sound back is the way I do it.  You can add analog to tracks using this method, or to a mix when you master it (or afterwards to a mix).

I send my mixed stereo master out through my TCK 48(with DSP effects - comp and EQ) into a pair of Komit compressors/limiters.  That signal is recorded back into SONAR with most of that radio-friendly max level.  Works like a charm, and an extra DA/AD stage doesn't harm the sound.

Well, based on the suggestions above I just experimented with ...........

1) As expected, recording the hardware effects returns to stereo tracks and then Exporting as normal works.

2) However the LIVE INPUT during a REAL TIME Export, did not work.
Apparently the term "Live Input" does not include the input from your interfaces hardware inputs, but only Input Echo inside SONAR.

During the Audible Export with Live Input selected, I could hear the reverb and delays in the mix ........... however, the Exported file was DRY.
It did not record the live input at the hardware inputs after all.
In other words, it did not real time export what you could hear.

HMMMM .........
