How to get a WAV out of a REAPER project

You need audio out of a REAPER project (stems for a mixer, a bounce to open in another DAW), and REAPER is not on the machine you have. The .rpp describes the song in text and points at its media. With the project folder its recordings come out as they are; without it, the writing does, played on stand-ins.

  1. Drop your .rpp: An .rpp is a text file, read in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to read it, and no account is needed. Have the project folder? Choose it instead, and the media its audio items play comes with it.
  2. It renders by itself: The studio opens on the arrangement and starts the WAV straight away. Each track's notes are played by a stand-in picked from the track's name (a kick lane on a drum kit, a bass on a bass), rendered on our server from a General MIDI sound set, usually in seconds.
  3. Download the WAV: One file of the whole arrangement lands in your downloads. Your first three a month need no account; a free account gives you 120. For stems, 32-bit float or a loop range, use File → Export audio….

Questions about the REAPER project to WAV converter?

We have answers.

Can I convert an .rpp to WAV without REAPER?

Yes, drop it here. MIDI items are played on stand-in instruments; audio items play from the project folder if you choose it.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Your first three WAVs a month need no account. A free account raises that to 120 a month.

Can I get stems?

Yes, for the tracks that carry audio: File → Export audio… → Stems writes each as its own WAV in a zip, lined up from zero. Stand-in tracks come out in the mix only.

What bit depth and sample rate is the WAV?

16-bit at 48 kHz when everything is a stand-in, 24-bit when recordings are in the mix; File → Export audio… offers 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit float at 44.1 or 48 kHz.

Why are some items silent?

Their media was not in what you dropped. Choose the project folder, or a zip of it.

  • A text file that points at sound

    REAPER writes its project as plain text: tracks, items and their positions, the notes inside each MIDI item, the tempo, and a FILE line for every piece of media an audio item plays. The sound itself (the recordings, and whatever the plugins on each track make of them) lives elsewhere. MIDI items come out as notes and stand-ins picked from the track names play them. Audio items play only when their media came along: choose the project folder, or drop a zip of it, and each one plays from your copy at the position REAPER gave it. Files the project expects that were not there are counted, not passed over.

  • Bit depth, stems, and what each file holds

    A project that is all stand-ins comes from our server at 16-bit, 48 kHz; the General MIDI samples are 16-bit, so there is nothing deeper to keep. Once recordings from the project folder are in the mix, the WAV is written in your browser at 24-bit. File → Export audio… writes 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit float at 44.1 or 48 kHz, the arrangement or the loop range, and Stems writes one WAV per track that carries audio, all starting at zero; stand-in tracks are in the mix, not in the zip.
