How to install LAME .dll???

[cellardweller]

Once again, this is baffling me.

WTF do I place the .dll file for LAME so that I can encode mp3's within Reaper ~OR~ how do I properly install LAME so that reaper finds the .dll file?

Yes, I'm an idiot...and this is thoroughly PISSING ME OFF!!!

Thanks for you understanding!

just drag and drop the dll into your \programfiles\reaper directory

[cellardweller]

After decompressing the zip file, I see no .dll files at all!
Is there some other extension they may be titled as?

[cellardweller]

Umm, nevermind.
The first download I found had NO .dll files in the zip file!

The second did, and now REAPER encode dandy (so far so good anyway)...

Thanks.

You should actually get lame_enc.dll and place it in your WINDOWS\system32 directory.

ah, good call, then it will be available for other mp3 apps right?

[timthetortoise]

Yep, any DLL in system32 is automatically able to be accessed without a full path because of the PATH env. variable. Makes everything easier.

I just tried it in ntrack and it's still a no go. Piece of clunky doo doo. Glad I have Reaper now.

Make sure you're using lame_enc.dll instead of lame.dll.

That's what i'm using. I put it in the windows/system 32 folder and the ntrack bladeenc folder. Still a no go.

if N-track isn't actually looking for the dll then obviously it won't do anything - so it's a question of if they programmed it with MP3 support.
