THE TIME HAS COME.
As I promised to y'all, this is part one of the ongoing project of fixing the MDNA Tour Live Audio and I am so proud to share this. Took a couple of weeks to finish this part but at the end, it was all worth it, bitches.  It was a whole lot of fun to redo the live audio that can tailor to what we wanted it to sound and I think I have achieved that.
Now, it's yours to have and cherish. Thank you so much for waiting. Love y'all so much. <3

[EDITING NOTES]
I have used @PanditaRulez's leak of Act 1 (No Mixdown) that stops after Papa Don't Preach as the base for the edit and his mic feed leak for Gang Bang, Papa Don't Preach, Hung Up and I Don't Give A. After initial listens, the mix lacked so much boost for both the bass and vocal presence so I made use of the center channel from a Blu-ray rip of the live film to give it that necessary boost. I even have to do some AI stem separation and it worked wonders. For Hung Up down to Best Friend Interlude, I used their respective studio versions to at least complete Act One.
- GENERALITIES -
Created a more natural sounding crowd Better boost on the bass, beats and vocal presence Better sounding EQ for the entirety of the tracks - TRACK BY TRACK -
1. The Virgin Mary Intro
Simple boost overall on the track, nothing much to do Gave the crowd a more quieter ambiance for the intro 2. Girl Gone Wild
Added extra drum stems and synths to resemble the real live version performed since the final live album version released has a different mix (listen to the Paris soundboard and compare it to the final version released in the live album) Added an extra layer of the pre-recorded live vocals 3. Revolver
Pre-recorded vocals extracted from the center channel (some AI stem separating websites and softwares confuses her vocoder ass voice for instruments) Boosted Lil Wayne's voice on his part, slightly Simple boost overall on the track, nothing much to do 4. Gang Bang
Used @PanditaRulez's mic feed for the first part of Gang Bang then transitioning it to the pre-recorded live vocals to resemble the actual performance on tour (I was tempted to keep the mic feed on in its entirety just to fuck around with y'all) Pre-recorded vocals and monologue were extracted from the center channel, then boosted Extra synth added on the breakdown part, sourced from the center channel 5. Papa Don't Preach
Used vocal stems from the studio version of the song to resemble the actual performance, specifically on the pre-chorus and chorus part Missing the mob's noise at the end when they kidnapped her but eh, who cares about that? 6. Hung Up
Used an official studio version as base, took away the lead vocals, leaving the background vocals 7. I Don't Give A... (feat. Nicki Minaj)
Used an official studio version as base, took away the lead vocals then extended it to match the live album's length Used @PanditaRulez's leak of the rough mix of the live album to support the studio version base and to complete the track with the drums at the end Boosted the live drums and guitars 8.  Best Friend/Heartbeat Interlude
Simple boost overall on the track, nothing much to do 9. Video stream portion
Sourced from a Blu-ray rip of the film Took away the heavy blues and greens dominating the overall video (I am thinking they used an LUT as color grading and it shows.) Toned down the skin exposure and gave everyone a more natural skintone (though it's no hope for Madonna, especially in Papa Don't Preach) Boosted the saturation a little more NOTE: There seems to be some inconsistencies of the color grading of the entire film because the saturation and style keeps changing in most shots and it's really annoying. Wanna laugh a little? Watch the Virgin Mary intro with my new mix and look at the crowd.
