The reason i started this thread was so that i could find out whether or not the Original version is usually better than a remix. I know actually buy MP3's Online and usually think that the original is much better...in most cases anyways. I've actually heard some pretty good remixes and have bought the remix over the original but..let me just see what you guys seem to think.

Depends on the track. Generally there's a better remix out there.

im just saying in general...im not sayin any tune...but if one of you guys likes a remix better tell me the song name and who it's by

It's not something you can speak of in general terms, it is entirely varied and depends on the original artist, the remixer and the track itself.

+1

My point exactly.

A few years ago my answer would be different. But 90% of the remixes out there now completely suck.

Humm I have to say they're different (duh! Or else it wouldn't be much of a remix would it?)

Most remixes tries to make the music different, be it mood, speed, or even genere.

Good or bad, that has to do with taste... and that's generally a tough question to answer. Is ice better than water???

I think remixes gives a song more flexibility and longivity at least on the dance floors. Hey that's why they hire DJs right? Who want to listen to the same dance songs over and over again?

changing a bass line and adding hi-hats is no substitute for creating an entirely new composition. originals get my respect hands down, even though i may not enjoy them as much sometimes.

Some remixes are great it really is done on a per song basis as sometimes the original is amazing.

Trance remixes make up only a small fraction of the entire scope of EDM. Thus, I have to disagree with you here.

Well If I were to make a list of my top 100 or so tracks id say 90 of them are probably the original mix...
