I am thinking of getting a Ren, and wanted to know, with the new software versions can you export a track as a wav, with multiple drums (bd, snare, hi hat, etc.) and each drums comes out seperate, so when you put in in your DAW you can eq and controll each drum individually. Or is there a workaround that anyone uses for this once you have finish your song or track in the Ren, and then export it to your DAW as wav files

You can export and choose to separate audio tracks, wav or mp3, which can then be dropped in your DAW. I love it.

As Tee stated, it's a function form software....File > Export > choose multiple tracks or mixdown as stereo track....

Would be nice if you could export pads from a program. As time to time i create a drum pattern on one track but then want to eq the kick drum different to the snare etc

Yeah I always put every pad on separate tracks, except certain chops, that all get played together on same track. So I prefer separate tracks as opposed to separate pads, especially in cases where a sample it chopped across multiple pads but played together to one track. When I export I get what I need

Ehm.... I have to be the one mentioning it??? Ok...
When I export in song mode, whether I choose seperate tracks, or just one WAV file....the mixdown, doesn't seem to start correct...so then I create a extra blank sequence of the same tempo 2 bars,put it at the start, then that solves the problem...cuz I cut away those two bars in my daw (reason) but....it adds like a half or quarter of a non existing bar, making it hard to cut it right...whats messed up,when u already recorded your vocals and made (minor) changes in the beat...u can't just mixdown and drop down, cuz u precisely have to cut your mixdown...else the vocals are off....
I love my Ren, I really do....but why in 1.5 this annoying issue isn't solved????? I've read more threads about this after googling it... It seems the problem doesn't occur when mixdown in sequence mode....but I like to,just be able to mix own songs..... Anyone???

1.) Set cursor to the beginning of the second sequence in song mode
2.) Export as usual

The stuttered beginning should be eliminated.

then you would accomplish your goal!!!!


The workaround I use is to bounce all tracks (even the drums track, what the heck :smoker: ). Afterwards, I put the drums track solo and then mute all the drum pads I don't need for now. Then I just bounce several "Master Outs" with the solo drums.

You can also duplicate your drums track like two times, then delete all samples not needed, like deleting snares and hihats while keeping the kick drum on track 1, keeping only the snare on track 2 etc.

A bit tedious, an EXPLODE function would be nice. :WTF:
