Saving a file from Reaper

[yairisan]

I'm using Reaper to pitch correct a vocal track. How do I save the corrected vocal track to a single file to burn to a CD? I need only the vocal track (pitch-corrected) on the CD, which I will use to run the corrected vocal back into an Alesis HD24 (from whence it came). Sync'ing isn't an issue; I will do this by ear within the Alesis.

I have been able to save a file (of sorts) to my desktop, but it is unplayable, and therfore impossible to burn to a CD.

Thanks for any help.

When you have the vocal track you need, in the file menu choose the "render" option.

(it might be labeled "render file" or something of the sort, I'm not at my DAW so I can't say for certain.)

It will output as whatever you tell it to on the render options dialog. (wav, mp3, ogg, or whatever else). WAV files are the best option IMHO

Hey, thanks! I thought I tried doing that - sending the file to my Desktop (or so I thought); it shows a progress box for a few seconds (good sign), but no file appears.

I'll try again, thanks for the encouragement.

The file (WAV.) that gets saved appears as a Reaper icon and is unplayable by Windows, and therefore can't be burned to a CD. Dammit. Thought this was going to be child's play.

You might have to change your bit depth to burn to a cd...I don't know for sure without looking at your render settings myself.

CD quality is 16 bit

I've had troubles getting wav files rendered by Reaper to play on some software too. I've found that if I open them in Audacity and re-render them with that software, it works.
