Overview

Recordings made in REAPER are saved as Projects. A REAPER project file has the extension .rpp - e.g. MyRecording.rpp. REAPER Project files are saved in plain text format and can be opened, viewed and edited in any text editor.

Project Settings are saved with each .rpp file and are specific to that particular Project. Certain Project Settings override standard REAPER Preferences while the Project is open.

REAPER Project Settings are accessible by selecting File > Project Settings (Alt+Enter).

Selecting the Save as default project settings button will make your changes apply to any new Project.

To learn more about the Project Settings options, see the topics below:

==Path To Save Files== Enter a directory path, or select Reaper 158 browse button.png to navigate to a directory that will be used as the default Save path for all Project-related files - e.g. Audio, MIDI, Peaks, etc. If this field is not set, REAPER will record audio and MIDI files to the default directory (the same as the REAPER install directory) or to the directory listed in Options > Preferences > Audio > Recording.

Project sample rate

Select this check box to enable the sample rate to be set by the Project. Select the sample rate from the drop-down box by scrolling and clicking on the sample rate you wish to use:

The list of available sample rates is determined by the capabilities of your audio device.
