Welcome to the February 2010 RAP CD! We get started with audio for this month’s edition of Production 212 from Dave Foxx, followed by audio mentioned in Sheldon Hovde’s article, Why Great Ads Don’t Make It To Air. Commercials fill out tracks 3 through 17. Promos are on tracks 18 through 27, and we wrap it up with three tracks on the fun side of things.

Next month we feature the finalists of the 2009 Radio And Production Awards and let each of you vote for the winners! As we’ve done the past few years, we hope to fill up the April and May CDs with the “Best of the Rest” from the RAP Awards. You’re still welcome to send in submissions for the CD during these months – we’ll keep them on file for the June CD. 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 or phone number for people to contact you with any questions or comments about your submission. Thanks!

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! ◙
