Reply to How this remix thing works?

Hey DJTT folks,

So I really want to get into the whole remix and production side of DJ'ing but I have some questions. How do you all out there go about it? What I'm particularly interested in is do you buy the track and then go from there or buy the intsrumental and the acapella etc? How do the artists on Beatport make money from remixes? Do they have to contact the artist that they want to remix and they get sent the different files from there or what?

Kudos.
