Have you ever wondered what really happens to your cue once you hand it off to a library? This week on the 52 Cues Podcast, I sit down with TV producer, editor, and composer Biagio Messina to talk about what makes a cue stick — and what gets it left on the cutting room floor. From smart stem strategies to crafting cues that survive scene reshuffles, we unpack real-world, actionable tips for making your music more editor-friendly (and more likely to get placed). Plus, I share a story about my latest cue, "Streets of Green," and how trying not to clone U2 kept me up at night. Trust me — if you’re serious about leveling up your production music game, this episode is for you!
