remixes

[thijs]

want to know your opinion on this little matter:

 

it is safe to assume that is a remix of a certain track is on a release somewhere which just says [track name] (remix), that this remix is done by the original artist(s)?

 

as in... should the original artist(s) be credited for doing the remix as well?

[haste]

yes...there's no need for the artist name if it just says remix as i'd assume it was by the original artist

[thijs]

hehe.. yes, we know who did the 'remix' but the database does not :wink:

 

in another way:

 

should a remix of one of his own tracks appear in the list of remixes he did.. (in my opinion it should)

[Logic]

Oh I get it, like Dream Team - Yeah Man (Dream Team remix) instead of just (Remix)

 

Yeah that makes sense, many producers will label it that way anyway

[haste]

should a remix of one of his own tracks appear in the list of remixes he did.. (in my opinion it should)

in my opinion i'd say no, i always thought that section was for an artist working on someone elses tune. if it is a remix of their own track then it is still their own composition and i reckon should appear directly under their name

 

:?:

[thijs]

i think it should appear in both. of course in the list of tracks he (or she) did. but since extra (??) effort has been put into it i think the track should also but noted as a remix by that artist. the idea is the same as doing a remix of a track by another artist... :?

haha logically tarzan's is right.. its redudant but redundancy never hurt anyone, and doing it the other way probably means putting in extra code to make exceptions.
