Converting recordings to mp3 files

anyone that uses Reaper to record their music please respond and let me me know how to convert my saved files to mp3's so i can send them to friends and such. thnks

I don't use it, but try looking for an export option in one of the top drop down lists.

i found the export/consolidate but the file cant be converted to mp3.I exported it as WAV. and none of my music players could play it thanks anyway though doz

yeah, I could just say RTFM or be a nice guy.

I used to use reaper all the time. there are options in the export but I think reaper uses lingo such as render.

i think this link may help

you can download this program CDex http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/

it is made to do more than just convert wav to mp3 but it should work.

you can use a program called switch (which you can download for free at download.com) to convert your wave files to mp3.

I was about to say what Guitarslinger and goodtunes said - so yeah. Export them to .wav and then convert to .mp3

good tunes i got the program i clicked on convert wav to mp3 but i cant seem to select the wav tracks that i made. it only allows me to choose an entire folder of something. im browsing through the directory button at the top of the page that pops up when you click on convert wav to mp3. whats oging on , what am i doing wrong?

tilikidis you figure it out yet? you select the convert button then convert wav to compressed files option. thats sounds where you are. if you click the button with the three dots it opens up the folder search window. your are gonna have to know which folder the wav files are in. once you select the right folder that the wav files are in then hit ok a list of the files will show up. the folder/file search is not as user freindly as some other programs because it doesnt let you know when you have got to a folder with wav files in it. thats why you gotta know where on your hard drive the wav files are.

here is another just make sure that when you install it that you uncheck the 2 boxes. TWO boxes asking about yahoo and some other crap need to be unchecked. this program is just made to convert so it might be easier to use.
