Re: RMS and levels
It's genre specific. You don't need a Folk song blaring away at -7dB RMS.
I suggest around -14 to -10dB RMS as a general rule.

Re: RMS and levels
I want to be competitively loud. I always do a two step compression and limiting in the two-mix that peaks at just under 0.0 dB. It's almost as much as I use in mastering for a CD. (CDs are so yesterday...hahahaha)
I don't pay much attention to Root Mean Squared.

Re: RMS and levels
Genre-specific it is indeed, so it's difficult to give specific advice, but here's some: get Bob Katz' Mastering Audio; The Art & The Science.
There's also his introduction to TC Electronic's iconic Finalizer hardware mastering processor https://toneprints.com/media/1018177/ka ... tering.pdf
You might wish to go directly to page 11: Recipe For Radio Success, but that would be a mistake.
