Remix
 
A remix is an alternative version of a recorded song, made from an original version. Sometimes this term is also used for alterations of media or recreation other than song (film, literature etc.). Remixing is the adoption, alteration, and recombination of pre-existing cultural texts, songs etc. to create something new.

A remixer uses audio mixing to compose an alternate master recording of a song, adding or subtracting elements, or simply changing the equalization, dynamics, pitch, tempo, playing time, or almost any other aspect of the various musical components. Some remixes involve substantial changes to the arrangement of a recorded work, but many are harmonic, such as creating a "vocal up" version of a song that emphasizes the lead singer's voice. Contemporary remixes are often produced in a Digital Audio Workstation , which allow producers to reorganize tracks and apply various effects.

Songs are remixed for a variety of reasons: to give a song a second chance at radio and club play to create a stereo or surround sound version of a song where none was previously available to improve the fidelity of an older song for which the original master recording has been lost or degraded to alter a song to suit a specific music genre or radio format to use some of the same materials, allowing the song to reach a different audience to alter a song for artistic purposes to provide additional versions of a song for use as bonus tracks or for  a B-side, for example, in times when a CD single might carry a total of 4 tracks to create a connection between a smaller artist and a more successful one Remixes should not be confused with edits, which usually involve shortening a final stereo master for marketing or broadcasting purposes.

Another distinction should be made between a remix and a cover. A remix song recombines audio pieces from a recording to create an altered version of the song. A cover is a recording of a song that was previously recorded by someone else or you.

At Dondypat we like working with rethinking musicians like you.
 
You might not like the way your music was mixed or you have a better idea after everything was done it not a problem at Dondypat Studio, we are here to help.

What we can’t do: What we can do:
We can’t change any line in a song already mixed.

We can’t replace a lead Vocal or a chorus in a mixed song.
But we can have it sound better.

But we can lower it very low to work with it.
Basically, remix is something people normally do after a song or an album.
Feel free to contact Dondypat Studio and to discuss the price for a song or an album remix.
