Render Multiple Files With Their Own File Names In Reaper

[@drutgat2]

Thanks very much. Love your tutorials - useful, and very well explained.

[@perochialjoe]

That saves so much time. Thanks a lot for the great tutorial!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

You're welcome! Glad it helped!

[@muurimc]

Oh yes, this will save a tonn of my time

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Excellent!

[@andrewelk23]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Was trying to do exactly this and this made it extremely easy.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Awesome! So glad it helped!

[@montibass]

Thank you for this. It was exactly what I needed.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

You're welcome!

[@ArtHeld]

Thank you! What a beautifully constructed and presented tutorial. Clear, easy to follow, and exactly what I needed! I hope you will do (many) more Reaper tutorials oriented towards spoken-word use like book narration and podcast creation. As an amateur writer, I use Reaper to record MS Word's Read-aloud feature so I can take my latest chapters on walks as MP3 files. (This tutorial showed me how to break up reaper projects containing multiple chapters into smaller, more phone-friendly mp3 files.)

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

Thanks for your kind words! I'm so glad it was helpful. I absolutely plan to keep doing the tutorials. And based on what you said, I'll create a playlist just for spoken-work use. thanks for the idea!

You can use the wildcards to auto-increment the number at the end of the file name too based on the item number in the track. No need for regions.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

True. Though clients often want specific filenames. So entering those in as region names ensures this. But I suppose it would be easy enough to just manually change the names of the files afterward, maybe.

[@Maplefoxx-vl2ew]

there is a faster way to rename them, open region/marker manager and you can rename them all there just tab to the next one each time.

[@TruthSurge]

Better if you could do a global name (like... vendors) and then in the render settings have it APPEND and _1, _2 etc for each region. That way you don't have to manually name 200 or 300 regions and it'll work just fine. I wonder if Reaper 7.xx will do that.

[@MilanSavicDrums]

Amazing, thank you 🙏

You're welcome!

[@skyfall2951]

Rare use case but it's an absolute timesaver. Thanks man!

You're welcome!

[@ElMiguelsebio]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this video!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

You're welcome! Hope it saves you tons of time.

[@ElMiguelsebio]

@@HomebrewAudioRecording it definitely will. Yesterday I finished a project with 87 files and I did most of the work manually. So, with the information in this video and your other videos, I’ll be able to do it in a fraction of the time. Thank you, again!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

@@ElMiguelsebio Awesome!

[@system23]

Perfect

Good job bro 👍👍

[@TisButAHandle]

I like tutorials such as this one. 👍

5:33 wow, have to manually NAME each region. with 200 regions that'd be a bit of a chore. Too bad you can't select all clips and edit region and it does a GLOBAL change of all regions. Also, what if you have multiple clips on multiple TRACKS? Is it going to make a region correctly? I don't think it will. It won't know you want the earliest start and the latest start from MULTIPLE clips across tracks to be set as one region. But at least this is a way to do it if you know you need to render them out more than once or possibly more than once. thx for the explanation.

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

That is a use case that is way more complicated than the kinds of jobs I was referring to. Did e-learning exercises all on a single track. Also, you're correct that manually naming takes longer. In my case, the client specified what the file names should be. So I had to do it that way. But Reaper is capable of several flexible ways to name files based on regions using wildcards and so on.

[@TruthSurge]

@@HomebrewAudioRecording After watching your vid, I tried some stuff and ultimately, what can work for multitrack is to create clips as you showed at least on ONE track and that one track should be the EARLIEST or LATEST, not middle, so you can later drag ONE END of each region to extend it properly. THEN since you select only clips in ONE TRACK, you can use that action you showed to create all the regions and it will auto-name them as well (like vendors_1, vendors_2) once you render with the $ wildcard variable. So, it is okay. I still have to drag each region but that's not too bad. Now, if I need special names, well, I can do that in reaper or just rename in file manager outside after render. Thanks for the tut! I do voice acting for a living so usually I only have one track (mono voice) but sometimes I do effects and monsters etc so if I need multitrack, I use Reaper so this will help me really only if I need to RErender if they don't like the effect etc. But now I know how! thx!!!

[@HomebrewAudioRecording]

@@TruthSurge Thanks for all that!

@@HomebrewAudioRecording I was trying for 300 pages but I failed! hehehe
