I understand the process of licensing for a compilation mix CD, but how is it different if you want to actually remix the song?
If you're licensing a tune and throwing it down in a mix, you're gonna be altering it in some way...whether it's just the pitch you're playing it at, the EQing, what you're mixing it with, or using two copies to basically re-edit it...where is that line, and how does the process and paperwork change when you cross it?
Not sure if I'm being clear with my question...but how would you go about it if you wanted to release a couple of remixes or edits of your favorite disco tune for example...I realize there are a lot of factors and variables involved...but any advice, tips, comments, or stories of personal experience with this would help me out a lot...thanks!
