Are there any "rules" for a remix?

[serox]

Can any of you supervillians tell us whether or no there are any hard-and-fast dos-and-don'ts when it comes to remixing a track, i.e. are you supposed to take elements of the original track and rework them, is it supposed to be a completely new creation, et cetera. It seems that remixes of every imaginable stripe have been done so I was just wondering...



:?:

never under stand why people remix. if u like the orignial track, why try to remix it? U think u can do it better?

If u dont like the track r remixing, then why not make ur own?

Its mostly a money thing and a way to fill up ep's with rehashed versions of the original. You wouldn't understand ;)

why wouldnt i understand?

I understand when getting a record pressed labels like for you to put one good track on with some not so good ones when they select what goes on. Yes, to make more money.


would much ratehr see a release with 2 of the best tracks you have made, which you have not done in 1 night on a PC.

Anyway, i dont like remixes. Its all techno, so if you like some thing dont copy it, make your own shit. How you feel it and want it to be.
