so now that i am semi through with a song and I want to send it as MP3 to my songwriting partner, when i select export to file, everything is there except for the midi-drums, lol enlighten me on how to do this please
 

Can you give more detail on your routing or better yet post a screenshot? I.E what boxes are you checking etc.

I assume you lasso select the clips when you say you select everything? That won't select your MIDI drums output channel unless it is a simple instrument track. Try hitting ctrl+A to select absolutely everything and try to do the export. If your MIDI drums is still missing from the bounce, then there's something else.

IIRC if you're using EZDummer's song arranger and you have not moved the MIDI from there to a MIDI track, your drums will NOT export.
 
I typically get the arrangement down in the arranger and then drag an drop the whole arrangement to a SONAR MIDI track and then delete the clips from the arranger.
 
HTH.
