Reaper 4 – Exporting

Finally, when your work is done you want to export (or Render, or Bounce) a final mixdown of you audio to share with collaborators or the public.

1. Click File/Render…
   

2. You will get the Render Dialogue window with many options.
   
   These are a good set of default settings for rendering this project:
   Bounds : What section of the mix do you want to Render.
   Directory : If you put a Folder Name here it will save exports there.
   File name : Name your export.
   Sample rate : 44100 is the most common.
   Format : WAV is the most common.
   WAV bit depth : 24bit is standard high quality
   Render 1 file : Render your new audio bounce.

3. 
   You will notice a new folder called Bounces in your project folder and in it you will find your rendered file. This is your final version of your Mix.

NOTE: you can also render other file types at your own risk, these types can be AIFF, MP3, FLAC, MP4, etc. You can not go wrong with WAV.
