Advice please on burning song in Reaper to a CD

I'm trying out Reaper software for the first time. I'm new to this and have got to the stage of creating six audio tracks (not using midi at all) for one song. I know how to mix them but can anyone tell me please the stages I have to go through now to burn the song to an audio CD? Thanks in advance. Pete

Welcome Pete, what a fine name :) Just to add to what Tedwood said, there's a good explanation of how to do this in the Reaper User Guide. It's in the section called Burning an Audio CD with Reaper. It's section 15.4 of Reaper User Guide V2.5 Pete

Thanks to both of you for your speedy and useful replies. It worked fine and I've now got the song on a CD. Could I please ask a further question - when rendering, I checked the box to 'save a copy of current project to out_filename.firewave RPP' (would you usually do this?). I did it just in case I did something wrong and deleted the original tracks. I'm not sure where this copy actually ends up but now that I've got the song on CD, I'd like to free up the memory this is taking up. Similarly, as I'm recording the Reaper sessions on my only hard disk i.e. not a separate one reserved for recording, I'd like to save my current recording externally (e.g. a floppy disk?) and then delete it from my hard drive to save memory. Presumably, if I wanted it again I could then load it into Reaper. I'd appreciate any advice on how to delete the copy file mentioned above, saving the original project file to a floppy disk (or memory stick) and then deleting that also completely from the hard disk. Thanks again. Pete

Welcome Pete! I beleive a floppy can not hold enough to acomplish this tast. What did you want to save? All the waveforms and project settings? Or just the final mix? Can you just burn to CD what you need? Make sure you make a folder for your new songs so you know where all the song files are. I have been down the road your on(one drive and limited space) My first "cheap" fix was buying an external USB drive to store stuff on($60 for 140Gb) Good luck and ask more questions if you need help.

Thanks Bardo. I think I'd like to save all the waveforms and project settings (so that I could go back to it if I wanted to). In that case, your suggestion of saving to a CD seems to be the answer. If I progress on this, I'll probably buy an external hard drive as you mention, for music recording only. I must say that, as someone in his early sixties (but only really eighteen in 'maturity') and not technically proficient, I'm already impressed by the friendly and helpful feel to this board. Pete

Two more things to consider 1. Saving to a flash drive - they're pretty cheap now and always useful temp storage 2. Setting your prefs to record in wavpack (lossless compression) or Ogg Vorbis, both will reduce the size of files to roughly one sixth of a wav file. wavpack sounds identical, Ogg sounds so good I can't tell the dif - but m years are old. They won't play on yer Windows media player if that's an issue though. Actually...hmm, do both! A four Gig flash drive would hold loads of songs and files in wavpack or Ogg Vorbis :)

Also see concerning "ReaBurn 2.5" if you want a different method of burning from Reaper (with some added functionality).
