Dunno Difference between a mix, a remix, a dub, a re-work, a remake, and edit etc

I'm no music producer, are they all much of the same?

A re-work I would have guessed is taking something like Viton & Stel - Wooden Swordz and doing what Nikola Gala did.....although that was a remix. Is say Eric Prydz - Call On Me a remake?

An edit I presume is a shortening, as edit would suggest and a little production associated with it.....

The others just confuse me a touch

"Mix" is just another word for "version". A remix is a version of the track by another artist, essentially the same track but produced by another artist. A dub is a track with the higher frequencies removed. A re-work is the same production but re-arranged as a general rule. A remake is a track totally remade, this can be in the form of a remix, a new mix by the original producer or a cover version by a different artist. An edit is simply a different length of a mix to it's original version. Done.

Sometimes artists remix their own tracks. Sander van Doorn, for one. Also, in most cases, mix = remix.

hm

usually, a mix is done by the same producer who did the track, and a remix is by another producer. not always, though, and i have no clue why.

Yes, but these are usually just mixes, as producers give them names to avoid confusion. In the rare cases otherwise, just take Remix without a specific producer to be an alternative version by the producer.

Meh. Sometimes it's printed "mix", sometimes "remix".

fucking hate the words remake and re-work.. artist trying to sound original in there names using these ridicolus name on a track..

Dub = vocals removed or significant lead sounds stripped down or removed..

Mix = should only be used in similarity of this: "Armin van Buuren`s Rising Star Mix" or "Lemon 8 Inner Sanctuary Mix) for example..

Remix is a track produced by someone else or re-produced by the named artist..a re-work and remake is excactly the same as a remix..

edit it is a kind of "light remix".. where the artist cant take as much credit of the production as calling it their own production..

It's higher frequencies. Why do people always insist on some abstract definition of this? A dub is a track with no high notes or pitches left in it. Simple as.

Ummm... a re-work isnt the same as a remix

the line goes down like this

Remix/Mix > Rework/Remake > Re-Edit > Edit > Reconstruction > Original


It all depends on the level of change or new additions/interpretations done to the track, for instance,

To reconstruct would be to only change a little bit, whereas a Remix is a total complete structure change, but using original themes

I suppose it goes by opinion

Is that including vocals? a significant amount of dubs have vocals removed, your definition doesnt mention vocals unless your including this under "no high notes or pitches"
