WHAT IT IS

What a radio edit is

A radio edit is a clean version of your song. Explicit words are muted, reversed or smoothed over so the track can play on radio, in stores, on TV and on clean playlists.

We handle the edits carefully so they feel natural, not clumsy. The energy and flow of your song stay intact, just without the language that keeps it off certain platforms.

This is a per-song add-on. Order it alongside your mix and master, or on its own if your song is already finished. Pair it with an Instrumental Export if you also need a music-only version.

We choose the cleanest treatment for each word, muting, reversing, dropping the vocal for a beat or swapping in a clean take, so the edit never draws attention to itself. The result passes the filters used by radio, retail stores and editorial playlists, which is often the difference between getting added and getting skipped over.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

The clean version, as a separate file

Your clean master

The same mix and master you already approved, with the explicit language treated. Delivered in WAV and MP3 so it is ready to upload.

Both versions kept

You keep the explicit original untouched. The radio edit arrives alongside it as its own file, not as a replacement.

Edited by hand

Every word is treated individually by an engineer, not run through a filter that mutes half a bar and hopes for the best.

WHO IT IS FOR

When a clean version is the difference

Radio will not play an explicit record. Neither will most retail stores, most TV and film placements, a lot of editorial playlists, and almost anything involving a brand, a school or a daytime slot.

Artists usually discover this the week they need it. The single is out, a station or a sync agent asks for a clean version, and the deadline is now. Having the edit ready before you pitch is the cheapest advantage in the release.

It matters most for rap, drill, dancehall, R&B and pop records with a handful of words standing between the song and a much wider set of doors.

WHAT TO SEND

What we need from you

If we mixed or mastered the song, we already have everything. Order the edit and we work from the session, which gives the cleanest possible result because we can reach the individual vocal track rather than the finished stereo file.

If the song was finished elsewhere, send the mastered stereo WAV. Better still, send the vocal stem or acapella alongside it, because editing a word out of an isolated vocal leaves the music completely untouched.

Send a word list if you have one. Stations and platforms differ on what they will accept, so if you are editing to a specific broadcaster standard, tell us and we follow your list rather than guessing.

TIME AND CHANGES

Turnaround and revisions

Handled with your order

Added to a mix or master, the edit is delivered with the finished song. On its own, ask in chat for current timing before you order.

Unlimited revisions

Within the scope of your order. If a treated word still catches your ear, say so and it gets redone.

FAQ

Common questions

Which words get edited?

Explicit language and slurs that keep a song off radio and clean playlists. If you have a specific list of words to treat, send it and we follow it exactly.

Will the clean version sound choppy?

No. Each edit is handled by hand and chosen to suit the word and the beat underneath it. Done well, most listeners never notice.

How do you actually treat a word?

Muting, reversing it, dropping the vocal for a beat, or swapping in a clean take where one exists. The right answer depends on what is happening in the music at that moment.

Do I get both versions?

Yes. The explicit original is untouched and the clean edit arrives as a separate file.

Can you edit a song I did not mix with you?

Yes, as long as you can send the finished stereo file. A vocal stem or acapella gives a cleaner result because the music underneath is never touched.

What about ad libs and backing vocals?

They get treated too. A word buried in a double or an ad lib is exactly what gets a record rejected, so we go through every vocal layer, not just the lead.

How do I release it?

Your distributor uploads the clean version as its own release or as an additional version of the track, and marks it clean. We deliver the file ready for that.

Does the mix change?

No. It is the same mix and master you approved, with only the language treated.
