just to clarify before the words get confused edit = not having access to the original multi-tracks (most bootleg "remixes" are actually edits) therefore working with fairly rough cuts/splices compared to a remix
remix = full access to the complete multi-track recordings - having the "splits" as it's called (separate tracks for drum, guitar, keyboard, vocals, etc.) I think you're right - Levan and others like him didn't do edits as they had direct access to the original studio recordings and were hired by the labels (like West End, Sunnyview, etc.) to do the remixes technically speaking MEK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 09/11/2008 02:37:49 PM: > All i ment was before it was fashionable for dj's to be playing nothing > but edit series.
