Is there a guide for mastering radio ready masters for available download? Toloerances I think they call it...some one said that if you use too much reverb the radio sations wouldn't play them...is this true?

I am usin Adobe audition 3 , and Sony Sound Forge & with Ozone 3

Thank you in advance for your help,
GretaL

I've never heard the reverb thing but I find it highly unlikely - unless they ban all '80s music and the new Last Shadow Puppets stuff. Shocked

Also, most radio stations process everything through in-house compressors/limiters. Depending on the kind of station (i.e. classical versus pumping house) these will be set differently. So, your master will get kind-of re-mastered.

Here's a good guide to some mastering basics:

Worth a look for what a radio station may do:
