Data Regions

In Strata subprojects, the black regions at the top of the ruler are known as data regions and are used to automatically name rendered audio files. If you configured REAPER as described in this document, you can see the data region in the ruler as shown in the following image:

Data regions encompass and provide information for all other regions. Data region names include text that provides values for wildcards when you use the REAPER File, Render command, as well as the metadata that is embedded when you use the Project render metadata command.

The following image of the Region/Marker Manager shows how different regions and data are used when rendering in REAPER. For more detailed information about rendering options, refer to the REAPER User Guide.

The data region contains the information that will form part of the file name as well as the embedded metadata and Rendered subfolder structure. Add values to the UserCategory or UserData section of this region to customize your file name and maintain a rendered file name with a UCS structure. If you add a value after UserCategory=, start it with a dash (-). If you add a value after UserData=, start it with an underscore (_). The - and _ are used to delimit sections of the UCS file name their use is very specific. To insert UserCategory or UserData into the filename one needs to use the - and _ characters as specified, to maintain a UCS filename structure. The following sections of this document contain more information about data regions and UCS names.

Regions selected to render. The region name becomes part of the file name. Note that the colors correspond to the layers and regions displayed above the timeline.

Regions are assigned to Render from the Output of the assigned Region Matrix Layer(s)/Track(s).
