Am i allowed to change recording and artist names of remixes to make them make more sense

MusicBrainz
1

so basically
these are 2 nightcore releases
Recording “Pretty Little Psycho (Nightcore)” by RubyChan's Nightcore - MusicBrainz (I uploaded this)
Recording “Pretty Little Psycho” by Porcelain Black - MusicBrainz (this one is all wrong so I fixed it)
look at the edits of the last one to get what I’m talking about
anyway in the process of fixing them I renamed them both to
Pretty Little Psycho (Nightcore)

I have 2 questions
can I name them something like this
Pretty Little Psycho (Rubychan Nightcore)
Pretty Little Psycho (ZeroMizKun Nightcore)
thats the first question

tbh I think that fine since thats kinda what artists already do
Release “dusk (the edits)” by mxmtoon - MusicBrainz -
Release “fever dream (Shawn Wasabi remix)” by mxmtoon & Shawn Wasabi - MusicBrainz

anyway my second question
can I rename the artists themselves from
RubyChan’s Nightcore to RubyChan
ZeroMizKun Nightcore to ZeroMizKun

and just add their youtube channel name as an alias idk
this is all my personal opinion but I think that would be better
so yeah

You need to name the Tracks as they appear on the actual Releases. Otherwise someone searching for it can’t find it.

A Recording can have a more specific name if it is commonly used. Or make use of the disambig to show an alternate name.

Artists should be named as they are currently known.

I then see you are talking about YouTube videos that are a little outside my normal area.

the problem is that youtube is so unregulated I guess I’ll keep the artists names and songs names as they are now
my point is a theoratical if these nightcore songs were official I bet they will be named that was
and the theoratical or why would you put a name of a genre in your artist name
thanks for your input

This bit seems simple to me. Yes, I agree, the artist is as you suggest. “RubyChan” and “ZeroMizKun” and their channels are called “RubyChan’s Nightcore” and “ZeroMizKun Nightcore”.

As they may later create “RubyChan’s Country and Western” channel or “ZeroMizKun’s Cheesy Pop” channel. It would still be the same artist, but a new channel. One artist could easily run multiple channels.

By the way, keep in mind you can add aliases to help people find recordings :slight_smile: (if the same recording has different YouTube entries with different names on different channels or for reuploads for example, they can be added as aliases)
