        ...though I'm not sure it necessarily worse than trying to enter all the ARs for a classical compilation...

      • ojnkpjg
        i don't blame you
      • 2006-04-29 11944, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        it takes forever sometimes
      • 2006-04-29 11953, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i wrote a script to add remixers once, but i think i lost it
      • 2006-04-29 11935, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i'd just review what it was to submit manually before sending it to the server to make sure it didn't get anything wrong
      • 2006-04-29 11956, 2006

      • Nyght
        I did all mine as separate.. but, I don't know if it would've worked or not for my examples. (I'll have plenty of chance to try it though. ;))

      • inhouseuk
        grr! These Produced and Recorded AR entries are confusing now. Take a look at http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=9… and tell me what you think they mean in that instance
      • 2006-04-29 11903, 2006

      • MartinRudat
        I was tempted to write one for entering the last release I did... I didn't bother until I talked with yllona...
      • 2006-04-29 11939, 2006

      • Nyght
        Ah inhouseuk, you're picking on my guy there!
      • 2006-04-29 11943, 2006

      • Nyght
        What do you want to know?
      • 2006-04-29 11903, 2006

      • Nyght
        They were recorded at Celldweller studio and Klayton was the one that as well produced the album
      • 2006-04-29 11938, 2006

      • Nyght
        and yes, unfortunately in the liner notes Celldweller (as the person) was the one attrib'd. I actually dug it out to look because I didn't think it was. (Should I create a "celldweller" person artist?
      • 2006-04-29 11908, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        we could just ripoff the discogs entry/edit form concepts for ARs :P
      • 2006-04-29 11911, 2006

      • Nyght
        But, fair warning, all of Klayton's aliases is like.. ten, throughout the albums.
      • 2006-04-29 11922, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        Nyght: I don't need to know anything :) I mentioned it on the style list that removing engineered from those AR's could lead to confusion and nobody took any notice of me. In my opinion those AR entried as they are on that artist are confusing
      • 2006-04-29 11935, 2006

        entries
      • 2006-04-29 11935, 2006

      • Nyght nudges inhouseuk, and would love that group changed to person
      • 2006-04-29 11918, 2006

      • Nyght
        Um... well? You're more than welcome to point it out. (I can add another link you'll go crazy over.. That's Klayton's page in specific.)

        take a valium before you look. ;)
      • 2006-04-29 11934, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        Nyght: you're going on about something different to me. Please slow down and look at the question I asked with regard to those AR types. The artist involved is not important
      • 2006-04-29 11900, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        I just happened to notice on that specific artist
      • 2006-04-29 11949, 2006

      • Nyght
        I guess it's that I know the difference. As far as your specific question.. it's exactly produced and recorded and what I "think" they mean?
      • 2006-04-29 11913, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        but would everybody see it that way?
      • 2006-04-29 11919, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        I don't think they would
      • 2006-04-29 11955, 2006

      • Nyght
        Probably not
      • 2006-04-29 11946, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        so you wouldn't misinterpret " recorded Misguided from 1995 until 1995"
      • 2006-04-29 11959, 2006

      • Nyght
        Production and Recording to the "average" fan, yeah, I would be ultra confused
      • 2006-04-29 11911, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        exactly!
      • 2006-04-29 11918, 2006

      • Nyght
        Is it the dates that make it confusing?
      • 2006-04-29 11929, 2006

      • Nyght
        or, just the lack of the engineered?
      • 2006-04-29 11932, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        which is what I was attempting to get across on the mailing list
      • 2006-04-29 11940, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        lack of engineered
      • 2006-04-29 11918, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        having the dates there doesn't help the situation
      • 2006-04-29 11957, 2006

      • Nyght
        okay.. with Celldweller it's so screwed because it was a "name" and then he began to use it as a production. (which is why I truly wanted it to remain a person, because group to me is incredibly misleading.) but.... as far as produced, recorded. mix engineered. Most people don't realize the depths and what they mean.
      • 2006-04-29 11941, 2006

      • Nyght
        You can remove the dates if it is taken back to person. (Or, we can create another "person" and shift them to that? )_
      • 2006-04-29 11948, 2006

      • MartinRudat 's eyes glaze over...
      • 2006-04-29 11900, 2006

      • Nyght
        anyways, I can see ways to clear it up.. but they are all very intricate and messy in a lot of ways.
      • 2006-04-29 11922, 2006

      • Nyght
        Where as before, at least it could be done under one "artist".
      • 2006-04-29 11947, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        Nyght: please ignore the fact I highlighted those AR's on that artist. The artist is not important to the discusion I started
      • 2006-04-29 11957, 2006

      • Nyght
        Unfortunately I couldn't formulate my thoughts to put them down in concise fashion during that mailing list discussion.
      • 2006-04-29 11910, 2006

      • Nyght
        k, done
      • 2006-04-29 11912, 2006

      • Nyght
        :)
      • 2006-04-29 11939, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        we can sort out if it is to be a group or an artist at a later date :)
      • 2006-04-29 11948, 2006

      • Nyght
        I think there are times (considering there are musically knowledgeable people in MB's moderators) that they forget what a novice doesn't know.
      • 2006-04-29 11959, 2006

      • Nyght
        and I think when they try to over simplify it, it makes it more confusing.
      • 2006-04-29 11924, 2006

      • Nyght
        (moderators and on the mailing list)
      • 2006-04-29 11930, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        yes, which is what I was trying to get across
      • 2006-04-29 11931, 2006

      • Nyght
        I as well think the multitude of AR's is very helpful to try and break it down to a more understandable level.. but, perhaps the ultra intensive AR's.. it's a real mess. Because someone may come along that truly knows what they mean
      • 2006-04-29 11937, 2006

      • Nyght
        and then they are added, which I think is great!
      • 2006-04-29 11910, 2006

      • Nyght
        but, it's the novice that they were changed for, to try and make it less confusing... at the same time, it's still very confusing all the way around in end product.
      • 2006-04-29 11919, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        in this particular instance it could be mis-understood that "recorded Misguided from 1995 until 1995" shows he is the performer
      • 2006-04-29 11900, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        when he is actually the recording engineer on that album
      • 2006-04-29 11913, 2006

      • MartinRudat
        ...hmm... where is the concern about confusion? that people read the information and leave with the wrong impression, or that people enter the information incorrectly?
      • 2006-04-29 11942, 2006

      • Nyght
        Yep.. and there's missing ones, which if added into the mess would only make it more confusing.
      • 2006-04-29 11907, 2006

      • Schika
        Nyght: you're talking about edit #4701846 ?
      • 2006-04-29 11925, 2006

      • Nyght
        because when someone record engineer's produces and as well mix engineers, it only makes it appear more so.
      • 2006-04-29 11927, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        MartinRudat: mainly get the wrong information
      • 2006-04-29 11947, 2006

      • Nyght
        because it then becomes recorded, produced and mix engineered.
      • 2006-04-29 11956, 2006

      • Nyght
        (the three processes most know to making an album)
      • 2006-04-29 11940, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        Schika: no
      • 2006-04-29 11956, 2006

      • Nyght
        Schika: No, we're talking about how confusing it is that record engineered is not there and is just shorted to recorded
      • 2006-04-29 11902, 2006

      • MartinRudat
        inhouseuk: ouch, that's a tough problem...
      • 2006-04-29 11944, 2006

      • Nyght
        Martin, it's bad to have someone think one person/group recorded something.. then they try and shift the album to that person
      • 2006-04-29 11952, 2006

      • Nyght
        even though, in truth, they didn't perform it.
      • 2006-04-29 11955, 2006

      • Schika
        ah OK, I prefered the earlier title "record engineered" we had
      • 2006-04-29 11925, 2006

      • Nyght
        Yeah, same here. But, as I said I couldn't formulate my words or thoughts. Having a hard time now because I say recorded I mean recorded.
      • 2006-04-29 11937, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        Schika: I did as well
      • 2006-04-29 11939, 2006

      • Schika
        it's not so much missleading as "recorded"
      • 2006-04-29 11943, 2006

      • slaad has quit
      • 2006-04-29 11950, 2006

      • Nyght
        exactly.
      • 2006-04-29 11906, 2006

      • inhouseuk thinks this needs reopening on the style list
      • 2006-04-29 11908, 2006

      • Nyght
        And to the novice. recorded could also mean hitting that red circle on the tape machine. ;)
      • 2006-04-29 11921, 2006

      • Schika
        hehehehe ... so true
      • 2006-04-29 11935, 2006

      • Nyght
        when you see engineered, you think technical/
      • 2006-04-29 11943, 2006

      • Nyght
        I guess that's the easiest way to put it.
      • 2006-04-29 11952, 2006

      • Nyght
        When you see recorded it lacks the depth behind it./
      • 2006-04-29 11955, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        yes, it puts it into context
      • 2006-04-29 11906, 2006

      • Schika
        the same is with "mix" ... it should be titled "mix engineered"
      • 2006-04-29 11934, 2006

      • inhouseuk
        mix isn't quite as confusing
      • 2006-04-29 11946, 2006

      • MartinRudat
        aren't there about four distinct things that get called 'mix'?
      • 2006-04-29 11951, 2006

      • Nyght
        That's why I said, you add in the mixing, and it makes it even more damaging (or, supportive in this instance to inhouseuk's thoughts) to the perchance confusion to the end user
      • 2006-04-29 11922, 2006

      • Schika
        I've corrected a bunch of "DJ-Mixed" AR's which was entered as "mixed by"
      • 2006-04-29 11943, 2006

      • Nyght
        there's mixing as in arrangement, there's mixing as in breaking it apart and making it so the song is well mixed, there's remixing.. Martin., that's all I can think of at the present.

      • 2006-04-29 11948, 2006

      • MartinRudat
        Nyght: one of the pages on the wiki, ReMixStyle (I think) had a bit of a discussion about 'mixing'...
      • 2006-04-29 11904, 2006

      • Schika
        that could be the cause of this
      • 2006-04-29 11919, 2006

      • Nyght
        You're probably right Martin, I've only recently dealt with the wiki in such depth

      • Schika
        cause we are talking about "mix". An album by System 7 (Hillage & Giraudy) has following credits: "written by", "produced by", "engineered by", "mixed by", "recording engineered by", "mix engineered by", "coproduced by", "remixed by", "executive producer", "remix engineered by" ... and all goes to different people

      • 2006-04-29 11923, 2006

      • MartinRudat 's broken a few monitors by running them at what the spec-sheet claimed they could do... 1600x1200i is actually surprisingly readable... and I could also convince it to do 2048x800, or something, though it's a little... odd to have a letter-boxed monitor...
      • 2006-04-29 11917, 2006

        Schika: Great example! Especially if you throw a few of those to a single person. Like, hmm, recorded by and record engineered by. It would wind up recorded recorded now

        Kay, question for more experienced moderators with the new VA potential under an artist. If I change a disc (that's not multiple artist) to another artist and say don't move the tracks will it create it as a multiple artist disc under the new artist?

        I think maybe I mighta just come up with a potential answer to the artist should be and composer is desired argument.. http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4705417

        or alternately, under the composer, and tracks attrib'd to artists? It could go either way...
