Rendering Files and Using the UCS

Each subproject includes a Rendered folder that contains default rendered audio files output from the subproject based on all of the regions in the project. The files are Broadcast Wave Format with a resolution of 24 bits at 96 kHz.

Refer to the Strata User Guide for complete details on how the names and metadata are automatically generated.

In short, the files are named using the following:

  • The $wildcard formula in the Render to File window.

  • The black data region Name.

  • The selected regions that are within the data regions' timeline duration.

If no regions are selected in the Region/Marker Manager, REAPER’s default behavior is to render all regions in the project.

The files contain embedded metadata based on the data in the data region, the Project Render Metadata, and $wildcards that REAPER uses to retrieve data from the project.

Timeline display of the black data region.

The Region/Marker Manager Window. The black data region contains the information that will form part of the file name. Edit the UserCategory or UserData section of this region to customize your file name and maintain a UCS structure to your rendered file. Add your data after the UserCategory= starting with a hyphen (-). If you are adding to UserData=, start with an underscore (_) to maintain the UCS name structure.

The regions selected to render. The region name becomes part of the file name. Note that the colors correspond to the layers and regions displayed above the timeline.

The Render Matrix layer whose output a Region is assigned to render.

Note that the Rendered folder is in a relative path to the subproject, which keeps the Rendered files in a predictable folder that can move with the subproject if you copy the subproject folder to another location.
