why all the audio tracks if the only thing making noise is the midi?
Well, the MIDI isn’t making any noise at all.
Think of it this way.
MIDI is like the cartridge inside an old-fashioned player piano. By itself, the cartridge doesn’t make any sound. It just sits there looking nice but that’s it. When you put it inside the player piano and hit ‘play’ the piano reads the cartridge and reproduces the notes and makes the sound.
MIDI and VSTis work the same way. MIDI is just data (the player piano cartridge). The VSTi (EZD) is the player piano itself that makes the sounds…well, drum sounds of course!
I don’t use Sonar but allow me to extrapolate.
The 8 stereo audio tracks allow for using the multi out function in the EZD mixer (Kick, Snare, Hi hat, etc.) You can route the 8 channels out from EZD into Sonar for additional processing of individual channels (compress the kick, eq the snare, stuff like that).
