when remixing someone, and say they gave you all the seperate tracks for drums and vocals and all that. what are the ethics of what you are allowed to do? what I mean is most people replace drums and sample things here and there but are you allowed to throw in totally new synth lines using your own gear or is it generally understood that you stick to the primary data? I did a remix of a guy named dusty brown and I replaced the drums and rearranged the track alot, edit alot of the sounds. but I also added a fruityloops synth line. I'm not sure if that was allowed or not. |

it's definitely allowed; that is, we've definitely all heard it done before by professional artists. whether or not what you produce can, by definition, still be called a remix is up to you. you might have to call it a 're-creation', if that isn't too "nine inch nails" for you |

well I only started wondering after autechre said they remix lots of artists and only use the original material but they butcher the sounds to make them new. got me wondering if thats the way it's done. |

i made a remix for a acoustic guitar driven group 1½ year ago. all the original material i used was some vocals which i retuned and bended... the song was originally a slow tempo sad song but it turned into a fast stupid silly electronic tune. |

There are no hard and fast rules for remixing, but: Generally the BPM is altered (slightly). You should leave the "hooks" in tact, if nothing else- this will at least make people associate it with the original. Something I like doing is if there are looping drums, leave 3 intact, subtley change the fourth one then original 3 and so on. There are 4 reasonable tutorials on remixing . |

yeah, from listening to a lot of remixes.. i'd say there really arent any rules.. hell, half the remixes aphex twin submitted for artists had absolutely nothing to do with the original track |
