  1. I wish people would stop assuming or making guesses which in turn, birth conspiracy theories. First & foremost, a speedy recovery to the Queen. Second, keeping her & her family in my thoughts. Third, let’s wait to see what is revealed before making assumptions. And fourth, for fuckssake, please be kind & not selfish.

    --------------

    MADONNA is secretly planning a special 40th anniversary Greatest Hits tour, The Sun can reveal.

    The 64-year-old Material Girl is expected to announce new dates in the next few weeks — and has booked out London’s O2 Arena for multiple events.

    Starting at the end of this year, it will be the pop superstar’s first ever compilation tour, featuring all her best-known numbers.

    She hinted in an interview with Variety magazine last year that she was keen to get on the road again.

    Now she has held a series of meetings with American director Jamie King, 51, who has masterminded her productions since 2001.

    Last night a source said: “Madonna is trying something completely new — and really giving fans, young and old, what they want.

    “Her last Madame X tour was in small theatres, but this one will be in stadiums, with the O2 already confirmed. It’s massively exciting.”

     

    Where is Philadelphia? She always comes to Philadelphia.  Every tour.

    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 -

    1. Created a more natural sounding crowd
    2. Better boost on the bass, beats and vocal presence
    3. 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.

    This is AWESOME!!! Can't wait to hear/see the rest :)

    The problem with her live cds is they over amp the audience noise and of course replace some live vocals with other ones and also bury and live instruments such as drums and guitar etc  . I don’t know why she has musicians and back up singers on stage when on the finished product you barely hear them ? that’s why I miss her sounds from the early tours ? I mean listen to Luis conte percussion or Jonathan moffets drums they are amazing imo 

    I couldn't have said it better!!! I often listen to older tours.  The live, RAW music of the tours is so much better than today's over mastered audios.  I miss those days.

  5. I thought the MDNA Tour was pretty good, however not for an outside venue.  I'm not sure she earned any fans going on so late at night, however it's M.  I believe she's earned the right.  How many other artists will still be going at this strength 30+ years into their career? 

    Janet - didn't even know she was around.  Thought she fell off the face of the earth after she canceled her last tour 2 shows in due to vertigo.  Sadly I heard the new song - very similar to anything she's done in the past - nothing stellar or 'new.'

     

    GREAT perspective & maps GroovyGuy! I never looked at it that way :)  

     

    Thanks for the opinions all - I hope you enjoy the show as much as I will :) :) :)  16 days to go!!

  6. Hello fellow Madonna fans!!! With her tour starting up this fall, I am trying to decide on the best device to get for recording the audio of the show.  I know this isn't a direct audio post, however I am hoping I can get some input as to what device to get.

     

    I appreciate your thoughts & input!  #RebelHeartTour !!! :) :)
