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 :o 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". |

ing 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" |
