make a mp3 from reaper

If you try to export an mp3 from REAPER it will show you this dialog: Click on the "Download lame_enc.dll" button and you'll be directed to a page called: Just download the proper archives from that page (according to your OS and REAPER version, 32 bit or 64 bit) and put the file(s) in your REAPER installation directory (hint: where your "reaper.exe" is). That should make you export mp3 from now :)

thanks, that was easy..however, final result, for me, was a mp3 file for each track... what i want to do, is create a stereo, mp3, of the entire song, including mastering effects.... in tha past, i've been recording a reaper project to my outboard sony, then placing data as a wav file on computer & then converting file to mp3... long handed way........... is there some way i can get the result i need using your method?? thanks, ted Student: School of Hard Knocks

Got to File > Render.

i used the render & have a stereo mp3 file on disk of a reaper project.... i use purewave asio drivers.. the signals from these drivers bypasses the windows kernal ... purewave drivers provide the most direct routing for computer based recording, developed by echo, they were used on the old layla 20 interfaces.. bottom line is, when using purewave drivers, i have no access to output signal for winamp, window players & such,,, so to test, i'd need a mp3 player that had asio outputs... this is so complicated !!! i guess i could move mp3 file to my reamote computer & play there, but i am really trying to all this to work on 1 computer.. i could switch asio drivers back & re-gain control over winamp or windows player... really don't see any upside to doing that.. anyway, got this far... many thanks, ted Student: School of Hard Knocks
