Here are the REAPER render settings that I use: The best render settings in REAPER are the ones that give you the highest quality audio. If you have any plugins on the monitoring FX window, I recommend disabling or deleting them before you try to render your track. To check and see about this, click View>Monitoring FX to open up the monitoring FX window. The last thing you need to check if your REAPER render sounds different from in the DAW is if you have any FX monitoring enabled. I always recommend rendering in the highest sample and bit rate that your computer can handle. These are the most widely recognized in the world of music production.Īnother thing you can check is that your sample rate and bit rates are not at a super low resolution. If you want to render a track in WAV format, you should use either 24-bit or 32-bit.

The next parameters that we will want to set are the sample rate, channels, and resample mode. ‘ Sample rate,’ ‘Channels,’ and ‘Resample mode’ Pay attention to what you name your files to have an easy time finding them later.

The following parameter that you can render based on in REAPER is the ‘Bounds’ of a REAPER project file. If you want your track to sound the way that you have been mixing/mastering it, you should render it through the ‘Master mix.’ ‘Bounds’ The first parameter you can set in REAPER’s render menu is the ‘Source’ from which you render your track.įor example, you can render just stems, selected tracks, the master track, and more using the REAPER render menu.
