names of mixes . . .

random question--is there a technical difference between a mix, a dub, and an edit?

. . . just wondering . . .

yes there is.

enlighten us.

please.

i'm no authority on the subject, but i see it as:

mix = remix, different version of the track
dub = with less vocals, or no vocals at all, as compared to original
edit = used quite liberally, although it should mean when the track has only been editted in certain spots, not actual production added. although, if say they take a track, and only add a few samples, move others around a bit, it could still be considered an edit.

i was gonna search for it and post it, but I got lazy, so I just put yea.


now that I searched for it, I am too lazy to check through the results.

but yea, those are right, dub is deeper and with less or no vox, a club mix has less intro than a usual mix along with some other characteristics, and radio edits usually have a very minimum intro until the vox or the real beat kick in.

thanks guys, I've always wondered that.

especially 'dub', i was never really sure what it meant . . .

Dub is actually from the reggae style which has fragments of voices etc. A dub will always have some of the vocal (or should at least if it's used correctly).

If you listen to things like Lee Scratch Perry and so on, you will get a proper look at what Dub is.

An edit is usually just a shortened version of the full (Usually a version that is made suitable for radio or similar).
