Great job trying to formulize, but the word only holds true to the definitions people give it. Last time I checked, the rank 1's dub of symsonic had higher frequencies than the original.

i thought a remix was a production by another artist using samples from the original

remake = cover?
rework would be a rearrangement?

an edit is usually done for songs that need to be shortened for radio or a video (radio edit, video edit)
but im pretty sure ive seen [video dub] somewhere

and theres also
-extended version
-album version/edit

whats a re-rub?


oh, and speccfically,
whats the difference between a
-main mix
-club mix/edit
-vocal edit
-original mix/version

i see those a lot, so theres gotta be a definition for each.
original, obviously the original
vocal, added vocals?
club, less vocals, more continuous beat?
...

oh, and sme artists go under an alias to make songs then remix it using their original name
e.g
Saltwater - The Legacy (Alphazone remix)
saltwater and alphazone are the same people
..fancy bastards



EDIT> wtf... 4 posts while i typed that

randy katana - in silence (txitxarro mix) - anohter example of remix by the same artist *another case of mix=remix*. I think they love the alias part, trance has the most alias`d artists in the hole edm.

I thought a dub was a song without vocals.

A dub has two overlapping definitions. The first is a partial or total removal of vocals from a vocal original, the second is a deeper take on the original which, yes, usually has higher frequencies stripped away.

A track that lacks vocals of the original, with no other differences, can be properly called either an instrumental or a dub, though the former is more appropriate. A remix or mix of a track that focuses on a lower, deeper sound is also a dub. But what you will never, ever find, though, is a dub with more vocals than the original.

What are those? I've heard them several times before but I don't knw what they are.

as far as im concerned a dub is a mix without vocals.. not a mix without high freuqnecies :S

remake, usually a modernised and completely reproduced version of a track. basically a remix but usually using no original audio parts (although often they probably do..)

edit: anything that involves changing the structure of a track to suit different needs, be it chopping the track up in an audio sequencer, or shuffling it all about as midi. basically same sounds, different structure.

re-work, i would say this is a producers attempt to make a better version of another producers track without changing the style too much. for example, luana, is f&ps rework of my original track, entangler! its pretty much the same style and similar sounds, just much better quality and a nicer structure.

like i said as far as im concerned a mix and remix mean the same thing, i dont know if they actually do or not but if so, i dont think anyone really knows what the difference is lol. ive been calling my remixes of tracks "mixes" and visa versa?!?!

so ... thats what i think!


to be honest it doesnt really matter! lol they are all pretty much the same thing

a bootleg is an unliscenced remix or mashup. a whitelabel is the name given to a limited-edition, test, or promotional CD or Vinyl (usaully with a white label on it!)
