Classical music radio in Los Angeles takes a hit

Well, we are now down to 1 classical radio station. It was just annonced that KMZT is switching format to be a country station. This is really unfortunate as many of the local ensembles broadcast on this station. The other classical station is much more corporate in nature- the syndicate dj's to other stations and don't do many live broadcasts.

Radio EQ and Compression Standards for Mastering Purposes

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as the standards used in mastering for radio as far as eq and compression goes? I ask because I have some crappy songs lying around that I would like to experiment mastering techiniques on. Any and all responses woud be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Slick production with that Radio sheen at my DAW

Guys.. (I know this answer is dependant somewhat on my gear.. sound card and mic etc) but if I am using Cubase SE along with Adobe Audition, plus the Waves Platinum bundle as well as a host of other plugins, if I knew really how to use compression and could EQ properly and fully understood mixing..

How do you get a radio friendly mastered sound?

hey there ppl.

i've been trying for some time now to get a more punchier, crisp, louder final result, but after I master my songs, then play them on a stereo, it's always quieter than radio songs. But if I boost the signal anymore on the program I use, which is Cakewalk Producer, it will feedback and distort.

Second Thoughts About Radio Recording

Recording is a busman’s holiday for me since my day job is working in the administration of an orchestra. To avoid conflicts of interest, I keep the two worlds separate. I don’t record my orchestra and I don’t tell the groups I record how to run their businesses. But it was all I could do to restrain myself last weekend. I thought the readers of this board might appreciate the story.

radio interferance is killing me!

here's whats going on. I'm getting a bit of radio interference in my recordings. i have a studio in my basement. brand new everything, decent mics, ok cables, run into a snake then into a Behringer eurodesk mixer, to a m-audio 1814 FW to my computer. My guess is it might be my mic cables, but i don't want to go dump hundreds of dollars on top of the line cables if it won't fix my problem.

Radio Broadcast-String Quartet and a last minute request

Yesterday I did a string quartet live broadcast/2 track recording for a classical radio station near here. I used a pair of AKG Blue Line Cardioid microphones in a coincident-pair arrangement. I placed the microphones about 8 feet in front of the quartet and about chest high. The recording and broadcast came off very well*.
