Importing and Exporting Audio

Importing Audio Files

Reaper refers to all Audio, Video, and MIDI files as Media Files.

To import Audio Files:

• Make sure that the blank Audio Track at the bottom of the template is selected. If the Audio Track is not selected, the Audio file will not import to the proper track.
• Select Insert>Media file. From there, navigate to where your Audio files live and select them.

Exporting MIDI Files

When you're ready to test out a part in game, you must export your MIDI file. When doing this in Reaper, take the time to make sure all of the export settings are correct.

To export MIDI Files:

• Select File>Export project MIDI. This will open a dialogue box that reads Consolidate MIDI.
• Under Consolidate Time select Entire project.
• Under Consolidate MIDI items select All.
• Use Browse to navigate to where you want the MIDI file saved to.
• Under Consolidate Output select Multitrack MIDI file and Embed tempo map.
• When all of these settings are correct, the dialogue box should look like this:
