Not entirely sure if this is the appropriate section for this post, but I'm more comfortable here than any of the other areas of the forum. :P
I just have a quick and simple question. Can anyone tell me what the differences are, if any, between a "mix", a "remix", and a "rework"? They obviously all mean that the song has been altered in some way from its original version, but are these 3 words one in the same? |

mix and remix doesnt have much of a difference, just by what is prefered by the person who writes it.. or what fits the most for instance "Armin van Buuren`s Rising Star Mix" or "Armin van Buuren Remix"
the word rework is just made up of someone who tried to be somewhat original in the writings.. a track is a track and a mix is a remix.. etc. |

Mix - Generally used when it is a remix of a track but by the same artist e.g. Armin van Buuren - Shivers (Rising Star Mix), but can also be used if the remix artist uses a long title such as Airwave - Ladyblue (Markus Schulz Coldharbour Mix) or Jeff Wayne - War Of The Worlds (Hybrid's Fire In The Sky Mix)
Remix - Used when the remix in question is done by a seperate artist to the original e.g. Jase From Outta Space - Do What You Want (Infusion Remix)
Rework/Re-Edit - Are used for when a lot of the original tracks elements have been used but have been moved around and some things added to it to create a new version, e.g. all of pvd's edits, same track just added his own bass and kick.
Remake - Usually an older track that has been remixed either by the original producer or sometimes a new producer. Generallly just used to differentiate the fact that the mix/remix is new and not part of the older release. |

Mix - could be different meanings but i would say your own mix
like something u made yourself
remix - a remix you do of a track
Rework could be both a rework of your own mix or someone else like pvd does lol
