The Radio And Production CD

June 2009

Welcome to the June 2009 RAP CD, brought to you in part by Studios Peak and their new production package, Plastic Surgery. Check out audio on track 1 and visit www.plasticsurgeryfx.com for details.

We asked interview subject, Blaine Parker, for some audio for the CD, and he did something special for us on track 2. Track 3 is audio for Dave Foxx’s Production 212 column. We’re back to our regular RAP CD format this month, and we’ve loaded it up with creative commercials on tracks 4 through 13 and promos on tracks 14 through 23. Track 18 is in Finnish, and Heikki Puttonen adds these translation notes: “…is a teaser of our Friday night pre-party show’s launch. The promo is about what happened in history on Friday 19.9. First is year 1973 when the Swedish king got his crown. Second is 1982 when Scott Fahlman found The Smiley. Third is 1991, a moment when ice-man Ötzi was found on the Alps. And last one is 19.9.2008 when new history will be written.” (…and you gotta like that Finnish voice of God!) Track 24 gives the Swine Flu at twist only the mind of Joel Moss could come up with. We wrap things up on track 25 with a well done piece from Craig Gear at Rogers Broadcasting in Toronto.

Deadline for the July CD is June 23. Please send all mp3 submissions to jv@rapmag.com. Be sure to note the title of the item you’re sending along with your name, your company and/or station, and an e-mail address for people to contact you with any questions or comments about your submission.

Support the RAP CD by sending a promo and/or a commercial recently produced at your studios. Please include your e-mail address or phone number for anyone interested in finding out details about the work such as producer, voice talent, etc. Sweepers, bits, spoof spots, song parodies, and most any other good piece of production are also welcome. If you send sweepers, dub them back to back to create a montage about sixty seconds long or less. All other items should be kept separate so we can pull them off cleanly. Normalize your mp3 files, trim silence from the front and back and email to jv@rapmag.com. Thank you!
