What’s the difference between a remix, bootleg, edit, VIP and other mixes?


Remix = new mix of a song, when stems (official samples of different recording tracks like the melody, bass, drums, etc.) are provided.

Bootleg = remix using the raw song, no stems. Some mashups are called bootlegs.

Flip = basically a remix or a bootleg that changes the vibe of the song completely.

VIP = variation in production. usually means that the original producer wrote the original song in a different way, like an artist remixing their own song.

Edit = minor change to the song, usually with the drop/tempo/something that changes the song, but not enough to re-mix it.

Rework/re-edit = a flip or remix usually of a song that’s already remixed or edited.

Mashup = mashing two or more songs.
