| so (and i'm addressing this to whoever feels like answering it)... in your opinion, does cutting out a pretty huge portion of the middle of a song - like getting rid of 4 minutes of the track because it's too long, or getting rid of an annoying breakdown/section of the track - constitute an edit? i mean if i heard a track in a set and then searched down the tracklist and bought it and it was notably different than what i was expecting, i'd probably be a bit annoyed. |

Where would your annoyance be directed?
In any case, sure it would be an edit, but is it an edit worth mentioning. In a live setting no one is going to realize anything and i guess if you did it on a promo mix, I dunno... unless I was really altering the tune beyond just structural changes, I personally wouldn't bother.
If I take out a breakdown or a section, not really worth it- if I for example, added a breakbeat section or chopped up another section and made some new patterns and stuff, yeah- I'd call it an edit. |

| if somebody asked on the spot, I'd say mention it, but I wouldn't put it in a tl or a chart, because then you get into nitpicking & throwing 'edit' after everything. imo, it takes rearranging (not just chopping up) and/or additional sounds to be an edit worth mentioning in writing. I actually like seeing a TL with no edits listed, but in which all the tracks sound different in the mix. Leaves more to the imagination. |

ok, for example - i just got a track that goes from the breakdown into this annoying section with sort of distorted sounding video gamey siren noises (sorry that's the best i can explain it, lol)... and i removed the whole breakdown and epic noisy part so the track is basically just chillin' all the way through.
if i end up using it in a demo, i just don't know if that's worth mentioning or not. |

| The more of it you played after the part you cut out, the more I'd be inclined to say to call it an edit. I'll leave it to the semi-pros, though :p |

Personally I'd call it an edit, but just make sure you're not all pretentious about it. For example, not be like "(DJ Lucid Super-Crazy-Awesome edit)" or something...but just saying (edit) or (edited).
That's my opinion. |

He is the worst to do that as far as i can tell in the pro ranks. The fact that so many people love Lawler amazes me.
Never finishes gigs, a rotten prick, now to make it worse he has Audiofly to produce tracks so he can add a few hi hats and the baseline of Simpler to it that every one will eat up because its Steve "I look homeless" Lawler. Recnetly i was told by someone they didn't like the style of music i played. Later that week i saw a Lawler track listing with a few of the same tracks as in my set in it. The funny thing is she won't like it when i play it, but if Lawler plays its like OMG JESUS TOUCHED MY CROTCH. (Greg confirm or deny:p). The only DJ worth worshipping anymore id Dave Clarke,and i don't even like bang your off hard techno. He just is the only DJ that doesn't ing care about whats in and actually still uses 4 decks.
/ rant
that felt good |

pretty much +1 right here.
i think in todays age of technology, this sort of thing just becomes second nature... i personally end up doing a little bit of something to a looot of what I play.
i think unless you've done something great enough to want your name attached to that edit of the song, you shouldnt label it as an edit.
i think thats vague enough to work for everyone :p |

RJT getting down with my chicken sandwich edit.
fixed:p
ps the worse thing is when people call something a remix and do not do anything but add bits of other songs on top without crediting them. Accessability to technology makes people think they are talented for clicking a mouse 6 times. Call it a bootleg at least, if you say remix without having permission from the label, you should just change your name Greg Downey.
making a kick ass mix with your name on it>taking credit for edits. When i do them i don't write anything on them. If people wonder why a track is different when they buy it, well that is what they get for trainspotting.:p
pps if you play another tracks drum pattern over a breakdown you take out the breakdown..its called mixing, not a live edit. |
