Is there a way to export one's composition as a set of .wav files where
each .wav file corresponds to a Reaper track?

After studying the users guide I thought that the Consolidate command
was what I needed, however it appears to only work for audio tracks.
The composition I am working with consists of only MIDI tracks and when
I use the Consolidate command, Reaper appears to go through the motions
of consolidating in less than a second and nothing is written to the
destination directory. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, because the
documentation makes no mention of Consolidate only working with audio.

Thanks for very much for that info.

Exporting as stems will work, but it is a bit painful workflow wise
because the stems are inserted as new audio tracks into the Reaper
project and the original MIDI tracks are muted. I was hoping there was
a method which didn't modify Reaper project.

I suppose I should explain what I am doing. I sometimes like to use
Melodyne to create rich harmonic textures by stacking an instrument and
varying the formants. This kind of f..ckery is not suited to real time
processing (and Melodyne is not 100% stable when run as a VST), so I
like to import the stuff as discrete .wav files.

Your suggestion of ReaRoute would be ideal except that ASIO is not
available on Macs, but you put me onto the right track as there are
some OS X user space core audio drivers which do much the same thing
(SoundFlower, Wormhole). So I will experiment with them.

Thanks again for the help. By the way I really like your "Musica Mundus" :)
