Does a remix count as a cover?NO!!!!!!!! A THOUSAND TIMES NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Remixes are vile, I know you love that junk but I also know that you know they don't count! A remix is usually just some DJ using the original music itself and f'ing it all up with a bunch of dopey bleeps bloops speeding ups/slowing downs and record scratching, sometimes remixes altogether remove lyrics & whathaveyou so they in no way resemble the original song and.... come on man, remixes are just the musical equivalent of pumping off----well, that and most any drum solo that lasts longer than a minute.

Sorry you can't appreciate production quality Ape, but that's your deal I guess.

I see no reason why a remix is any different to any other cover. It's basically a producers take on a song rather than an artists. I agree that there are a lot of bad remix's out there, but that doesn't mean they are all bad.

Until you have a go yourself, you will never understand the work that goes into a good remix. Your conventional ways of 'covers' are outdated old man!		2011-04-07 02:57:00

Don't give me that noise, a remix is a remix, if it were a cover then they wouldn't call it a remix.2011-04-07 03:59:00

Ape, you're just not getting it. I give up. I know how stubborn you are so this conversation is worthless.		2011-04-07 04:15:00

I know how stubborn you are so this conversation is worthless.That's a cop out, anyhow, I get what you're saying but I just don't agree, some disc jockey on a turntable or computer deconstructing elements of a song and arbitrarily rearranging them so that it barely resembles the original track isn't the same as covering a song, I mean, Beck, for example, will sometimes remix his own songs, but that's not considered a cover, because its actually a song that he wrote, he can't cover himself. So the two things are just different, I'll allow that its a form of reinterpreting a song but its clearly not the same as covering a song.2011-04-07 04:35:00

Personally I think this table explains it well. (http://www.secondhandsongs.com/wiki/Guidelines/Remix) Also I'm not really sure why you're so passionate about that opinion, Ape. Your definition of a remix isn't even completely right. Besides, the line between cover and remix is only blurring as time goes by.

But by being a form of reinterpretation it is in the same vein as a cover, and therefore applicable to this thread.

Argument done. No more need for it.Says you, but you're trying to make a point through semantics, rather than just looking at things as they are, is a remix in the same vein as a cover? Ok, I'll go along with that, but they're absolutely not the same thing. If a remix is a cover than a cover is a remix but a cover isn't a remix, you'd never suggest that Jimi Hendrix's cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, for example, is a remix because a remix usually consists of re-arranged elements of the original song, whereas a cover, is usually an altogether separate recording.

I didn't say they were the same thing. I said they are similar ideas, and therefore both can be posted in here. So there is no need for the argument, so drop it.		2011-04-08 09:47:00

The question posed was "Does a remix count as a cover?" and like them or not, as similar as you might think they are, they aren't the same thing so, no, remixes don't count as covers. The question wasn't can both be posted here and that's not what I wasn't responding to, sure if it were up to me I would delete every remix posted here the second they were put up but its not up to me and like I said, that's not the question I was interested in answering.
