Before you start mixing a song one of the best things you can do is commit your virtual instruments as audio. When it comes to drum samplers with multiple outputs things can get tricky because there are multiple options. In this video I explain my preferred method of handling this: freezing the instrument as a multichannel file.

TLDR;

1 – Select Virtual Instrument Track

2 – Run action “Track: Freeze to multichannel (render pre-fader, save/remove items and online FX)” from action list or track menu.

3 – Frozen MIDI items will converted to a multi-channel WAV file and locked.

4 – If you need to go back to the original MIDI or change instrument settings, run the Unfreeze action from track menu.

I am using Steven Slate Drums 4 for the demonstration but the same thing can be applied to EZDrummer, BFD, or any other Virtual instrument with multiple outputs.
