Noel:

Thanks for your response.

I set everything up as stated in the link you provided.

I did a "render" of the song. I tried to render as an MP3.

I got mixed messages in the little yellow window. One message said the rendering worked. The other one said it failed, mentioning something about a "codec" or something.

So then I looked at the files and yes, it actually did render all the separate tracks like I wanted. But it did not render MP3s but instead rendered .wav's.


So then I played the wavs as a test, and they played fine even though I got that error mentioned above. And this time the program did not crash at any point.


Any thoughts about why I didn't get mp3s? Do I need that codec thing, whatever that is?


Thanks again. I think progress is being made.
