Inside you’ll find a full breakdown of what “radio ready” actually means, how to get your mix right, mastering standards for broadcast (including the LUFS targets radio stations actually use), how to register your music for royalties with ASCAP, BMI, and SoundExchange, and a complete file format and submission checklist. Every chapter includes fill-in worksheets so you can apply the knowledge to your own music immediately. If you’ve ever wondered why your track isn’t getting placed — this guide tells you exactly why and exactly how to fix it.
