Default Playrate changes

I have come to the point where I think a song is finished and the last thing I did was to increase the playrate a tad. I am happy with that but want the increased playrate to be the 'norm' - I guess this would show that the Playrate would be back to 1.0, and the bpm increased, but each track/the whole song would play at the faster playrate.

Do I render each individual track then set playrate back to 1.0?
Do I render the whole song as stems for a new project (reluctant to lose the midi to audio)?
Is there another way to do this?

The manual has just the basic information buit no consequences for changing the playrate - for example, record audio at playrate of 1.0, edit it with the playrate increased, results in a mismatch when reverting back to 1.0., at least I think it did...

The more I think about Playrate the more confused I get ....
Maybe I just have to leave the project as is, with increased playrate, and render the whole as a finished song.

Make sure you do a "save as..." first, but it should work to change all your audio items to beats based instead of time and up the tempo. Then you won't lose your midi.

But, once you do that, you should freeze the audio items to get maximum resampling quality (or glue them individually if you want to keep fx live).

@ stella and judders
thank you so much, answers my question perfectly.

I suppose I could expect this to be in the manual (which is not to say it isn't) but given the flexibility and versatility of Reaper the manual would expand to be gigantic.

My searches are not good enough too ... sigh ... persevere
