Opening steps
Choose your environment or purpose to see its steps.
Menu labels and support vary by app, OS and version. Preserve the original before making changes.
Troubleshooting by symptom
- No audio: check media outside RPP.
- Missing FX: compare plug-in version/format.
- Different sound elsewhere: compare instruments/presets.
- Silent track: inspect mute/routing.
RPP → WAV / stems
- Render the required range, channels and format.
- Reopen the output and check it against the preservation points in this guide before handoff.
A rendered mix cannot restore every track/FX setting.
Saving versus rendering
Check media-copy options in Save project as; plug-in redistribution rights are separate.
