Yep. I don't think that the Dub necessarily even has to be remixed. It can be the same exact song as the original, just without the lyrics.

thank you!, by wait i think i have seen dubs with lyrics in them...or am i just imagining them???

Unless you have them from a legitimate download source or cd, then I would never really rely on "Napstar", "Kazaa", or any other illegal downloading clients. But do a google search and look into it.

A dub was originally a version with the high frequencies lowered/removed.

You mean "vocals" not "lyrics".

Dub originally meant the instrumental of a track (something to do with Jamaicans) but now as well as removing vox, a dub removes higher frequencies, usually focusing on the bass elements of the track.

I usually like a dub more than a remix if the track includes vocals, with that said, I'm not a big fan of vocals. But if the vocals are good, then there's no need for a dub or a Instrumental version of the track.

Always go for dubs/instrumentals. Vocals are shite.

Yes.

Let's all generalise.

Yay!

A remix can be anything... usually uses vocals and hooks if present in the original.

A dub uses just one phrase or the chorus if vocals are present, and turns it into a cool effect, or hammers home the coolness of the phrase... different songs go about it differently.

Instrumental = no vocals.

i like Cascada vocals

tracks like Endless Summer and Bad Boy are just great! couldnt imagine them being any good as a dub ;(
