Exported .wav files are getting cut off in Sonar x1 Studio. Please help!

[twest24]

First off, I’m VERY new to this process. I’m using EZdrummer inside of Sonar x1 Studio. When I drop a groove into Sonar on a midi track (which I’m guessing is what I’m supposed to do), everything seems to work fine. I can hear the beat, I can edit it in the piano roll, etc. But when I try to save/export that beat as a WAV file, I play it back in Winamp or Windows Media Player to test it, and it always the last beat cut off. I play the beat in Sonar on the timeline and it plays the full beat (ending with a snare hit). When I play the exported file, the snare hit is cut off.

What could be causing this problem? Am I supposed to select certain options when exporting the file to a WAV file?

Most likely, yes, your guess is correct
I don’t know Sonar, but I know that in my sequencer, it will stop the wav output render at the end of the last bar, even if there are echoing tails after that
So, what I usually do, since it’s the quickest and easiest most of the time, is render out a “time selection” (and select a time region with my mouse) instead of using the default “render entire project” selection
Hopefully Sonar has something similar, and hopefully that’s actually the problem!
If you can’t find that option or just don’t feel like hunting for it right now, try adding a dummy track with blank MIDI (or a silent WAV file) that’s placed just past the end of the song.
