Export Individual Midi Drum Tracks to Audio Tracks?

Hey everyone,
Thanks for your help in advance. I've using the Drum Rack (full drumkit), and have recorded a MIDI drum part for one of my tunes. It sounds the way I want it to so I want to bounce those individual MIDI tracks to individual Audio tracks...That's my problem...I'm not seeing an easy way to export each individual drum track to audio. For instance, when I expand the tab I see the individual tracks--Kick, Snare, Tom, etc, which is great, but I'd like to just bounce these quick and easy, just like when you Export Audio/Video.

Right now to get around this I'm creating a separate audio track, changing the "Input from" to the drumkit, then changing the "Input Channel" to whatever instrument (in this case Kit-Brightroom-Stick-Snare-PreFX), and then changing it to "Monitor In". It will then record an audio version the snare only on that track.

That's kind of a hassle, especially when dealing with these multiple tracks.

Is there any easier way of doing this?

Thanks.

There may well be an easier way but I can't think of it. I would set up an audio track for each of your drum rack pads and set each on to accept its audio from each on the drum rack pads and then record arm all of these audio tracks and record your loop and then each new clip will be just one of the pads each. I think.

Extract chain... its on the context menu when you right click (pc) on a chain in the drum rack. It makes the chain into a separate track... so it exports separately

Thanks everyone--oddstep, that looked like it did the trick! Thanks!

I did an "extract chain" on the particular drum, it then gave me that individual track. I then froze that track, then created an audio track and copy pasted it in the audio track.

Here's a good video on what I mean:
