Rendering bug with 4.32

.. and I've tried previous versions and deleted the reaper.ini... this is driving me nuts. I've got a project which consistently will not render, even a realtime render without putting weird space monkey glitches over the count in click track which is played using reasynth hooked up to a simple 4-count midi clip which repeats. The really weird thing is this project plays just fine! other projects render, just fine! - even with this click track thingy! I'm running another online x1 render right now but i'll upload the project file (it's just midi) and hopefully you can see what's going on. I also had to online x1 render a live band gig recording a did a few weeks ago and thought it was just a busy project so didn't think much more about it, could be connected though? latest mac osx. Kind regards Dave Rich

there, didn't work again and have uploaded it. It's a stupid little backing track but I do alot of these and right now I'm kinda screwed 'cos i've got a lot of this stuff to do :( Kind regards Dave Rich

I should also point out that the weird noises only happen in the first 2 seconds-ish of audio.

ok. i've even rendered the midi as audio and tried that,- didn't work still noises. why the f**k doesn't this render even in realtime!?!?!? it's plays just fine!! this is really doing my head in. Kind regards Dave Rich

ok. it's because i'm rendering to mp3. rendering to wav works. now i just need to figure out how to convert the wav into mp3. geeez, fix this pleeeaaase! :) Kind regards Dave Rich

OK. rendering to mp3 using VBR works!!!! thank sweet begeezus for that. CBR doesn't work. it used to. Kind regards Dave Rich
