"Radio" editing refers to the process of altering objectionable words in the lyrics of a song in order for it to be playable on the radio. Standard radio edits can be done in several different ways:

!. Reverse the mix at the objectionable words. In this method, everything plays backwards for the length of the word - music & all. When done properly this DOES NOT throw off the beat - everything after the reverse occurs at the precise time it did before the edit. The result sounds something like a DJ "scratching", which often yields an interesting and desirable sound. This is most often the preferred radio edit method.

2. Reverse just the objectionable words. In this case, you would have to have both instrumental and acapella versions of the song. The two are properly aligned, and the objectionable words are reversed on the vocal track only.

3. Mute the objectionable words. Same as #2 above, but the word is muted rather than reversed. Optionally, the full mix and the instrumental mix are lined up, and the instrumental mix is inserted at the bad words.

4. "Bleep" only the objectionable words. Same as #2 above, but a "beep" or sound effect (provided by client) is inserted where the words occur, but leaving the music untouched.

5. "Bleep" the mix at the objectionable words. Inserting a "beep" or sound effect (provided by client) over the entire mix at the objectionable words. The most obtrusive & least desirable of the options.

The r adio editing rate is $80.00 per hour with a 1/2 hour minimum.
