I created a drum pattern with step sequencer. I'm solo'ing each part in the sessiondrummer mixer and bouncing to the respective tracks. The only drum parts that won't bounce correctly is the kick and hi hat. After bounce many kick /hi hat hit are missing. I don't what else to do to get these two parts to bounce correctly. All the other parts bounced fine. Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Hi Bob

Do you know about this method? This makes life a lot easier IMHO....

Thanks Alex. I know about the different ways to setup session drumer, the problem is it's not bouncing all the midi to audio on the kick and hi hat so on the bounced track there are missing parts. It won't bounce all the parts.

Somebody will probably come up with a better suggestions than these, anyway....

Have you tried changing the sound to see if it works (say to a sound that previously worked)  - just to see if it's the sound itself is at fault?

Maybe copying/pasting the session drummer track into a new project to see if a bounce works in that project, in case the original project is corrupted....

That's all I can think of...

Cheers...

I've run in to this too Bob.

One thing you can try to do is raise your Midi Playback buffers.

Go in to Preferences, Midi, Playback And Recording, and raise your buffers there. Apply, exit Sonar, and restart it.

The other thing you may have to do is a live bounce. I had a couple projects that no matter what I did every other beat of the Hi-Hat would be skipped.

Another tip for freezing Session Drummer 3 is, go in to the Mixer in SD3. See the icons of the drums/cymbals/touchpad ... right click on the ones you are not using and select 'Unload'. Those will be skipped when you freeze or bounce. Otherwise, all 12 tracks will go through the process of being frozen, even if they aren't being used.

Good luck!

I found freezing the track and then bouncing has worked for me.

Thanks for the tips. None of them worked unfortuanately. I didn't try putting it in a new project yet. I really shouldn't have to go thrugh all this for a simple task.

freeze the tracks,then physicaly copy those tracks to another track,un freeze the tracks and delete the synth but keep your midi track.(thats not hurting anything).

when you freeze a track are you still missing kicks,EXC. ?

if your cpu gets bogged down your midi will miss note
 are saying you bounced each clip or frezzing them
i always frezze the synth tracks when there tweeked as practice
 and if so frezze the main session drummer track it should frezze them all
 work well since i create a new audio track for bass and snare and send SD to those tracks keeping them all in 1 track folder so i frezze the intire kit .
 bouncing a clip is only useful for things like vvocal and such.
 just a shot in the nightlighness
 i get this on large projects. when im running 20 synths,or more. this is the only way to get there sounds right

What are all your setting when exporting?

I fought this for a while and am going to try and locate the thread
