Sorry if I sound dumb, but what is the difference between a remix and a cover? Is a remix just the original song rearranged? Thanks. |

I would compare a song with a house. A cover is when a group builds exactly the same house, but with different (=their own) materials. A remix is when they use the bricks from a house to build a different-looking house. Does this explanation make sense? Not really I think . There's too many exceptions. but I thought, let's post it anyway. |

Hmm, for me a cover is when a band plays a song by another band, and leaves most of it almost the same. A remix is when someone takes a song and 'messes' around with it, like putting a beat by a rock song or so, taking different parts and place them in different order, repeat one part some more, or just take the vocals from one part, or... There are off course major exceptions. |

well that answered my question i guess, but can you tell me if this is a remix or a cover (or neither haha): i decide i want to do a remix of a song for the ae remix contest, so i remake the main melody of that song with my own instruments, and then make the rest of the song nothing at all like the original. what is this: remix, cover, or neither? |

Sometimes it's not clear to me if something is a remix or a cover. Isn't it also : A remix is on request , and for a cover copyrights are paid. ?????????? or am I totally wrong? |

that is an exception , I think. But, if you -as the 'creator' of something new- , call it a remix, then people will look at it as a remix. no? |

Why should you? I thought there were no set rules as on how to "remix" it. |

Why? Why cancel? You've got nothing to loose! If your song is not a remix anymore, at least you made it! and I doubt they will be very strict with the cover/remix thing. I think 'remix' can't be defined, because it is a very creative thing, in which everything is possible. I was only trying in my previous post. |

originally remixes were somebody rearranging from master tapes. but nowadays the line between remixing and reinterpreting (cover version) has become blurred by the remixer adding their own style / samples into the mix. |
