Just dropping a thought:
I'm mixing a huge project file with many heavy VSTs, each of which with unique settings (so applying FX to the bus is out). My computer is a shitty old laptop.
I'm happy with my drum mix, so I'm going to solo the drum bus, render it, and then re-import that as a single two-channel stem. Fewer tracks for Reaper to handle, hopefully less CPU.
-s
Edit: It worked! and it worked even better when I made it a drum + bass stem!
Edit 2: My God, Reaper has a function that does this for you automatically. It's called Freeze Track. They have thought of everything.
Here it is in the manual: https://dlz.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide731d.pdf#page=117 (section 6.17)
