Session Drummer Continued......

Greetings everyone!! Well, I have gone from Session Drummer challenged to actually being able to make it work, I've watched the Sonar U vids, all 5 plus lots of others. I am getting a good work out with the step sequencer but here's my question now......
Once you have a cool groove all down in the sequencer, is there a way to actually record it to seperate audio tracks so you can actually use it in a song....you know....kick...snare....ride...etc???Once again...seems like a dumb question as I cannot imagine why anyone would want to go through all the work of setting up cool drums and then only be able to play them and not record the tracks.
Again, I am not a midi guy so it is all pretty new to me but I have researched everything I can find and can't seem to see a way to simply record what you have created in step sequencer...........and have all the drums be seperate audio files (just like you had recorded a real drummer).
Thanks, Jim

    The first step is to assign each output of SD3 to a track of it's own (actually, just re-assign the parts you want separated). That is how you will get each sound "pointing" to it's own audio track.

    The second step is to push the "freeze" button on the midi part. It looks like a snowflake. You will now see audio files printed to your tracks. To work on the tracks, you would need to "unfreeze", alter the parts, then freeze again.

    That's just one way to do it. I'm sure others will have some other suggestions.

    Thank you, that seems pretty straight forward, I would not have expected "freeze track" to work that way, maybe they should rename that as "record track"!! (ha ha).
