I know what a remix is...but there are a lot of other track alteration terms out there that I've seen, some of which I have no idea how they got coined.
Somebody please define the following:
- Rework
- Respray
- Edit
- Dub
- Redub
- Bootleg
- Fix
Thanks. |

Rework is to start the track from 0 and try to make the same tune but with yout own style
Respray i'm not sure, i know an above & beyond track that has it but i think that it's just a cool way to say "Remix"
Edit it's a minor remix, you edit some parts of the original song but don't reconstruct it or get samples from the original producer
Dub it's a non vocal version usually has strings to supply it or vocal effects creating keys (hope you understand me :P)
Redub it's a remix of a dub mix making another dub (lol)
Bootleg it's an unofficial remix, also can be considered as a major edit because you take parts from the original but also make new parts, add additional things...
Fix it's less than an edit, re mastering the song , adding an acapella..... minor. |

They all mean "remix". |

Yes, generally it just means the remixer is trying to be clever.
However, "edit" is generally used when the original track is only slightly altered (shortened, extended, parts chopped off etc.) and "dub" usually stands for a vocal-less version of a track (for some strange reason).
Generally, it's not something you should even be thinking of. It doesn't matter. |

I'm being somewhat facetious. However, my point is that some producers will just re-edit a track and call it a remix, some will take the vocals out and call it a remix, some will leave them in and call it a dub.
All these terms mean is that the track is a different version to the original in some way. |

| I thought that Bootlegs are unauthorized remixes that weren't commissioned by the artist or label. |

Yeah, the terms seem to be pretty interchangeable, hence my use of words "generally" and "usually". You can't really tell what has been done from the name alone. |

And they are. All the words mean that the song has been altered but on different degrees or in a particular way |

you must be new here
Also, off with "noobiest". What you just wrote is the worst possible answer to this question. Why? Read the other posts in this thread. |

| While it pretty much does mean "remix" in most cases, Rodi summed it up quite accurately if you want to split the definitions up. |
