Now that we have our music composed, we can proceed to record or render our tracks as a combined song or perhaps just the individual tracks. Having the individual instruments on each track can, of course, be beneficial, especially when developing adaptive music using vertical remixing techniques. Likewise, understanding how the music changes can also help you horizontally re-sequence multiple songs more easily.
Follow the instructions to render the song we constructed to a media file:
- Open Reaper to the project you have been developing your song in. From the menu, select
File|Render. This will open theRender to Filedialog. Enter a name for your song and then select the options as shown in the following screenshot:

- After you name the file and set the options, click on the
Render 1 filebutton on the dialog. This will open another dialog where you will see in real time how the song is rendered to the file...
