    remaster is taking the piece (song, movie, etc) and making touch-ups/tweaks to refine the work. A remake is making it over again but different; starting from the ground up and doing it "their" way.

    Much like the song "American Woman": originally done by The Guess Who, later remade by Lenny Kravitz. Same song, but two clearly different versions altogether.

    That's right. "Remaster" is term adapted from the recording industry. Originally, the "master" tapes where the ones with all the separate tracks (drums, bass, vocals, etc.)

    "Mastering" is/was the process of mixing down those tracks to a two-channels (stereo) recording that can then be duplicated and sold in stores. Afterward, no further changes can be made to the music.

    To build on Adams' illustration: a "remaster" of "American Woman" by the Guess Who would involve taking the original "master" tapes they recorded on and performing a new mix-down.

    This is often performed when new forms of consumer media allow for greater fidelity to the source material, such as the case with many older movies now appearing on Blu-Ray.

    You can't just put a DVD version of a movie on Blu-Ray. That wouldn't be an improvement. You have to go back to the "master" copy of the movie (in this case, the original 35mm film) and "remaster" it!

    A remix is generally a music term, where an original piece is taken by another party and elements are added (like a beatbox drum electronic tweedleeedoos) or the tones of specific sounds are changed.

    The tempo (speed) may also be altered. In other instances, a piano track may be mixed in to the song or even replace say a guitar, but generally a remix is adding new layers to what is already there.
