Rendering (freezing)
From CockosWiki
About
This page is describing Reapers way of "freezing" tracks.
For exporting audio, see: Render
What it is
In Reaper you can Render a track to freeze the audio on it.
This can be done to:
- Free up CPU/Ram resources
- Print synths/effects for sharing projects
When Rendering a track this way, Reaper Renders the audio to a new track
This is printed to audio:
- All effects, with effect automation
- All item fx, automation and fades
This is not printed to audio, but is copied to the new track:
- Volume, pan, sends and corresponding automation
How to
- Select the track(s) you want to freeze
- Right-click > Render
(Choose among the various options)
