1) My answer to that is to give the WAV the benefit of running the signal through two high end audio processors, especially when using a multi channel digital recorder. I've been a TEAC fan since reel to reel, and safely claim TEAC audio file handling is second to none. Only Sony can compare. Any of those units inherited analog circuitry. They had to. They all have code/decode, codecs, to enable playing WAVs. I'm saying do not overlook Reaper's bounce function.
There is my answer, for better or worse. Each of us has invested great time and money in recorders and/or computers that we feel can do the job. Why cut that input benefit out of the loop just to save a little time?
Starting with a great product, the BiaB WAV renderings, and tweaking with Reaper is a combination I've seen grow with forum members here.
2) I know this is off the track. I probably should not have brough up the subject of lead sheets, but, since I did, With respect to workflow described to produce lead sheets, hardly a practice session goes by but that I don't make one or more corrections to the existing scores. After taking the first image exported by Crescendo and transferring (snagging) it to Paint,
I never returned to the former way, especially as concerns text.
If the Paint files look a little degraded, not to worry. The Pdf conversion takes care of that.
