With computer controlled mixing, it's easy to make a new version of a song with minor changes, like louder vocals. I think the wikipedia definition is quite all-right: "modification to make a song more suitable for airplay" Which could mean pretty much everything between removing the intro and a completely different performance. Changing the lyrics is mentioned there also (profanity).
I understand that it would be nice if we could define editing as what you can do without actually creating a new mix, but clearly "radio edits" won't fit into that description. > > -- > View this message in context: > http://musicbrainz.1054305.n4.nabble.com/RFC-STYLE-208-New-Recordings-Guidelines-tp4651054p4652348.html > Sent from the MusicBrainz - Style mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > _______________________________________________ > MusicBrainz-style mailing list > MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org > http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style > -- /symphonick
