Many of you wanted to know difference between mix, remix, bootleg, mash-up etc… Well, we hooked up with Chris Lawyer to be lightened. Hope you’re satisfied with his answers. Enjoy in reading.
What’s happening guys? You know what is what, but you don’t know what is what?
I tell you what is what.
Mix:
- It’s nearly same like a remix. When a remixer makes a mix of a track, he uses another, earlier project of him/her (what he used for another track) and makes remix with the same drum kit and instruments (Benny Benassi Sfaction Mixes). However on some covers you will find a remix as a mix…
Mix is also used to show difference between different version of a remix or original track (Instrumental Mix, Vocal Mix, Dub Mix, Dubinstrumental Mix, etc.)
Remix:
- Remix is an rethink of the song. When someone receive a remix request, the producer of the track will send the tools of his track to the remixer. He/she will use these parts while adding his own tools the production.
Reboot:
- Means restart or making something totally new.
Rework:
- The remixer use nothing of the original parts. Changing all the instruments and drums and the vocals as well!
Bootleg:
- An unofficial remix.
Mash-Up:
- To put a melody or an acapella to another soundtrack. It is possible to make a mash up by using more than 2 tracks. Sometimes I use 5-7 tracks to make one.
Dub:
- When there are vocals in the track and the producer/remixer makes a less vocal version of the song, than it’s a dub mix.
Big Room:
- Big room techno, big room progressive, etc. We often hear, read this, right? That is nothing else but a fantasy name. Producer/remixer makes it for big crowd. It could be even called Festivally Mix.
Edit or Re-Edit:
- Means not that much change. Making a little different version of the song. By re-editing a part of a soundtrack it will be an edit or a re-edit. Let’s say you finished a track and you want to make an intro version. It’s not going to be a totally new version. It is going to be an „intro edit”.
Edit is also used to mark the track’s radio version.
Hope I could help you to give a title to your production. Sometimes I’m making mistakes as well, so don’t touch me too hard.
