Did you have automation on the drum tracks?

In fact even though X1/2 are supposed to allow you to master in the original project IMO it's always best to toss the mixdowns into a mastering session anyway. Helps with stuff like this and gives you a chance to make it all extra slick VIA the fancier EQs and compressors and crap. I never use my first mixdown. 

Maybe I'm just old... or OCD... or both... but I like doing it that way. Cheers.

It could be because you are old and that would apply to me too. Thus maybe we don't have these problems because we are old and wise.

Or just old.

Or just old.

And we can't hear that the drums have dropped out..

WHAT?

;-p

I said "We can't, can't ...  something... What are you doing in my living room?  This isn't my living room..  NURSE!!"

THORAZINE PARTY!! WOOT!!

Try this: go into SD and select 16-bit samples and freeze the drums. If the dropouts disappear, it's possible you were just running out of memory. Put SD back into 24-bit mode (btw, I usually just use 16-bit samples all the time - I can't tell the difference), click the Cache button and play the song one time through. Then freeze. That'll purge all the unused samples from RAM before the bounce.

I had this problem in a simple 3 track test I was doing one time.

1 bass, 1 guitar, 1 instance of SD3.

The track played fine, but when I froze it, or exported the project, some of the hi-hat parts were missing. Just gone, even though they were present during playback.

The only way I could resolve it was by doing a real time export. I started this project in 8.5, and to this day, right on up to X2, if I open it and try to export it, the same midi notes are silent, yet I hear them during playback.

Unfortunately, sometimes things just get corrupted.

Good luck.

Have you tried doing an audible Export?
