The LAME disclaimer appears along with the file location as to where it should go. If I'm doing it correctly, I get the Render window up in Reaper (my song) and when I click mp3 LAME in the Output Format window it doesn't do anything other than the LAME "disclaimer" comes up saying you have to download it on the LAME website. And LAME is in the file (C:\USERS\yourname\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Userplug i ns") with the plugins. Yes, I have that file with everything in the proper order, ending with "User plugins". I'm going to continue following your instructions, Unholy. But evidently I'm not doing what's necessary to achieve that. I would really like to be able to convert using LAME. I'm going to see if I can send the correct file to my friend this afternoon. I'm thinking I didn't send the appropriate file. But when I attempted to email it to a friend I think it sent the song in the form of separate tracks. I had to send the file to the desktop so I could drag it into xrecoder and convert it. I dragged and dropped the song file into xrecoder. Again, once it's set-up for MP3 with your encoding options & output location, it's just drag, drop, and click.Īfter you've got your MP3 files you can use a program like Mp3tag () to "tag" the file with the artist, title, album, etc., information. Or TAudioConverter () can convert between many different audio formats. Since it doesn't "install", you may want to create shortcuts on your desktop and/or in your start menu. You can drag a file into LameDrop, or right-click for a menu to set-up your LAME compression options, output file options, or to exit LameDrop, etc.
REAPER MP3 ENCODER INSTALL
You do need to un-zip the file but from there you don't have to install it, just click "LameDropXPd3.exe" and a very small icon-size window will open. Simply drag-and-drop a WAV file into LameDropXPd () and it will start encoding to MP3. There are plenty of stand-alone MP3 encoders (almost all LAME based). If all else fails, or if you're just at the point where you want to try something else. But now I can, take a look at this link:

I had the same frustration as you when I was unable to render my mix in MP3. It was recommended by a Reaper Forum participant.
REAPER MP3 ENCODER HOW TO
Any suggestions on what mp3 encoder to download and how to get it in my Reaper folder? I can't recall the name of the encoder and I'm not near my computer right now. The encoder comes up on my desktop as a stand alone application but not in my Reaper folder. I don't know where to look in the Reaper folder to even find the mp3 encoder I downloaded.

Anyway, I tried to render my song after downloading the encoder.nothing, of course. BTW, I was able to render my song as a wav file, no problem at all. I'm not sure how to get the encoder into my Reaper folder.

Reaper works great with my computer but I'm at a complete roadblock with rendering.
REAPER MP3 ENCODER PC
I don't even know if it is the right one for my computer (I'm running a relatively new Dell PC with Windows 7, 64 bit). I did a search here and found a link to another encoder. But when it comes to choosing mp3 as a format there is no LAME encoder file and the links don't work AND the links on the alternative LAME site don't work either (Adobe Reader cannot open this file, blah, blah, is not a supported file, blah, blah, blah). So, I click the "Render" tab under "File". Anyway, I want to make an mp3 of my recording. And me not being very computer savvy makes all the more difficult.
