Subject pretty much says it - can you take MIDI tracks and mix them down to a .wav file?
Unless it's a stereo instrument. Many keyboard VST's will put the piano, organ, etc...in stereo.Change Channels to MONO.
Yes, running the midi files through a synth, which is the only way you'll hear them.Sort of yes and sort of no.
"No" in the sense that midi doesn't actually contain any audio information. It's mostly just a series of pitches and velocities and needs to be run through a virtual instrument of some sort to actually make sounds. Reaper has the built-in ReaSynth fx, which can be that instrument
"Yes" in the sense that you can render a single track to a wav file as Random Dude described above.
You can also right click the track and go to Render/Freeze Tracks... to render the track to a mono or stereo file.

I don't remember what the specific steps are in the ancient version of Cakewalk I was using but I know it was possible using midi and SoundFonts.
I think this is the first time I have ever seen this soundcloud player with multiple clickable songs posted here at HR.Com. Is this something new, something you have to be a paying member of soundcloud to use? Pretty cool..In fact, while on the subject. I don't do much midi, but when I do....I always do the right click and save as a wav file. I sometimes go back to things years later, and sometimes don't have access to the same vst instruments anymore. So I always have the finished track which can still be manipulated many many years later.
