I'll check for the Lame Enc. I managed to do that, but not sure how

The LAME dll is the 'lame-enc.dll' (assuming windows) and you can get it here. Normally you'd put the LAME encoder in c:\program files\reaper.
I say normally as I actually have mine elsewhere and associate it as I don't want the same dll spread out over lots of different progs. I spent a day working with someone from Audacity's development team working through encoders and LAME as we had a need to use a linux Debian distro and were having problems compiling the LAME. We did a lot of repeat testing on LAME, toolame and other encoders plus compiling Audacity ground up for ASIO 2. Some of what we found confirms known info and data on encoders and from it, if hard drive space permits and your hardware, including mp3 player, can do so use flacc.

Well I'll add something else then
If you render to mp3 using LAME or a similar mp3 encoder they tend to render at a bit depth of 16 - you can adjust the bit rate but not bit depth for rendering. (It's a bit more complicated then this as mp3 stores sound as amplitude over frequency and so the bit depth arguably floats. What actually results is not a fixed bit depth but a range limitation 24 bit has a larger range than 16, and so on.) There is a consequence of this wrt to recording at a bit depth higher than the mp3 encoder - it will decide how to dither your recording down to 16 bit ie whether to remove high frequency or low level noise. This may not give you the best result since sometimes self-dithering doesn't occur as instead you get a signal with a noise floor below 16 bit and so you truncate the higher bit depth signal. If dithering does occur though then you an increase the noise floor and the amplitude and so get clipping. Think I mentioned above that LAME and the other mp3 encs all induced gain and increased clipping. So at times you may be better actually dropping the bit depth yourself to 16 bit at the recording stage before rendering to mp3 to avoid the additional dithering. Whether you get a good result really depends on your set up though and requires testing and experiemntation. If you want to avoid this then you need to avoid rendering out to mp3 or indeed any 'lossy format'. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
