Could I use "Radio Remix" instead of "Remix Edit"? What do you all think?

Hi,

When a remixer is also asked to do a radio version, it is often called "Remix Edit", which sounds a bit clumsy, don't you agree?

I am looking for a better alternative to use:

What do you think about "Radio Remix" or "Airplay Remix". Sounds better to me and it says in the naming that it's the remix to be played on the radio. Let me know if this could create any confusion!

What do you think? Please vote in the poll!

I want to know everybody's opinion before I start using it. Thanks!

You can have both your name, and an additional name to your remix. Like in "Markus Schulz Coldharbour Mix"

Airplay's radio (or any other word) remix, mix, edit or cut..

Radio Edit

They're called radio edits because they're not remixes, they are shortened edited versions of the original..

In certain ways they can be remixed though.
There is normaly different equalising. Some instruments can also changed abit.

age of love - age of love (stella mix)

the radio edit has bits not in the original version. and i think its better than the orig myself

"Radio Edit" is normally only used for the original artist.. am I talking about what if you're the REMIXER! and also are asked to do a radio edit!

If you don't use the word "Remix" in there somewhere you're not always gonna get the remix credits you deserve from media etc..

So.. Radio Remix or Airplay Remix would be a good choice? Thing is I have never seen it used on releases, so would it be a good idea to use those or not?!

found atlantis radio edit

remixer name and name of mix/remix/edit or whatever

Personally I don't like the sound or 'Radio Remix', I prefer 'Radio Edit' or 'Radio Mix' and like people have said before - get your name in there.

Faithless Insomnia has a radio edit, which is basically a cut down version of the original and the CEC radio mix which is a good bit different (and better IMO). Maybe that's why they are named differently, because one is a simple edit and one is more of a remix.

You could also get creative and think of something new and totally different.

I would still call it an edit unless it was significantly different.

As if anyone actually uses the short versions of dance remixes?

Well I don't know if you mean DJ's but I like quite a few radio mixes. Sometimes I feel a track should just jump in, hit you in the face and jump out again. Gouryella - Gouryella (Radio Edit) IMO is much better than the longer mixes because it doesn't hang around and after hearing it I'm still quaking in my proverbial boots.

When you think about it, it's a fast melody so why take all the energy away with a slow buildup?

Some radio remixes are stripped from their 4/4-beat and it is replaced with a breakbeat.

But call it whatever you want, what you think sounds good. As long as people know what it's about...
