What about “Lived To Tell” which answered the question in the song

Speaking of AI video upgrades I have a bunch of family videos I want to get upgraded for a project. Any of you video heads recommend a good programme or app. I am pretty clueless tbh.

You need the multitrack for dolby almost though not just the master wav file don't you? surely?

Which gays? this feels off brand

Bitch Im Madonna is the perfect greatest hits title.

Like. It's hella coverlandia hell but if there's any way she could just use this shoot i'd be a happy gay. That pic on vinyl would be everything.

She was listening to it in her instagram clip tho and I imagine after all that's happened with Britney and her recently she'll want it on there. Plus it was number one so It's gonna show up. I imagine a lot of the features will be on this record. The idea that Madonna tracks will show up in other artists streaming profiles is surely part of the appeal.

Who is handing out crack around here cause girls let's be real it's an absolute crock of shit picture.

Personally she can miss me on Me Against The Music but that's just me.

Madonna coming up with the idea of a 50 song compilation of her historic remixes

Oh my god snap. You owe me coke

I really wish Stuart had done this back in the day. He’d have done the perfect job. oh well. Still be good I’m sure.

I mean the cool thing is that when you have a new remix of a track like Hung Up and then you hear the Classic kick / clap beat of Into The Groove in the background starting to show itself in the mix it's still hairs on end because these are the vibe that make Madonnas music electric. The Horn Stabs in Vogue, The Cowbell In Express Yourself, The Congas In Causing A Commotion, The drum fills in Frozen, The syn bass and bell line in Open Your Heart. Some bits of a mix needs to be maintained to hark back to the original and bring those goosebump elements to life. I think this has been the problem with many of her recent reinventions on tour. The originals were often either completely duplicated to boredom (Holiday Rebel Heart) or completely eviscerated. Stuart knew what new to bring but preserved the magic and essence of what made you fall in love with original. Not everyone has that skill. If this collection turns into a muscle circuit gay tops off mindless looped affair you can miss me on that one for sure.

"DISTURB THE PEACE" The remix 50 project

It’s also not out of the realms of reality that there will be a 4 cd box set. 3 CD’s with edits of the historic mixes and a fourth disc of .120 minute DJ mix. This seems more realistic than 50 mixed tracks.

Everybody , Dress You Up and Rescue Me will really be missed here. Three of her best dancefloor songs for me but hey. They don’t meet the brief.

Yes like I said it could just be part of the process..but I do this procedure myself and you really need to get messy first and play with the tracks to see what works. You don’t just chose them and press go. Honey may well be there for this part of the journey though to hear or help make the selections with a DJ ear. It’s just … 50 tracks!!! That’s a bloody mamouth task. Be nice if it is a DJ segued mix …as long as there’s a confessions unmixed style version too. We’ll see I spose eh. @LUKESAVANTwould defo have some insights too.

I don’t think it’s a megamix guys the tracks are not over laped. That would be a different set up workstation wise. there are clear gaps between tracks on the screenshot. Eg the silence between tracks. but who knows this may just be part of the process but I don’t see it for 50 tracks.

I’d hope it’s not a case of over compression. I can’t place the plug in on the left but mastering can just be a case of amending EQ levels across different tracks and general volume levels to make a balanced sound across the selection of different remixes by different remixers across 4 decades. it doesn’t mean they’re all gonna lose dynamic range and get brick walled. It’s just a way of making it found a bit more of a cohesive listening experience rather than jumping around like some of the remix eps we’ve already had. it’s a good thing ….. hopefully.

Ok so this is a screenshot of mikes computer. The way the tracks are arranged is looks very much to me like this is an eq mastering situation like I said earlier. I can’t see any over lap with the tracks and he’s using an Oxford EQ plug in which would add up.

This

Mike is probably just remastering for consistency in volume levels tbh

She wants you to just stream and raise her numbers little Madum Xers. Get your Spotify on peeps. Aint no Olivia Newton Johns up in here.

Honey have you seen the album charts recently? It is littered with straight up represses of historical releases. I think rethought collection of some widely unavailable tunes is a hell of lot more exciting than a Like A Virgin coloured vinyl or whatever Golden Oldie album is clogging up the charts.

Actually the more I think about this I reckon it will be a Digital Only release. The M.O. in recent years seems to be to increase her streaming presence...and It's working. Do we really think there'd be much of a market for a physical CD of her greatest remixes? Maybe 15 years ago but she late as hell on this one, We'll see I suppose. I can see maybe a couple of super deluxe formats for fans. Forget a vinyl for 50 songs ladies. Maybe an expensive CD boxset but as for standard triple CD release of straight remixes...I think we probably have to let that one go. Has Madame X live even been released on physicals yet? As in Blu Ray and Cd? Also... for the record...The best Ray Of Light remix is Sasha Twilo Mix. The levels, the Journey, the scape. The Ultraviolet mix is essentially a loop from start to finish. Twilo wins...Hands down above and away.....and that's that on that.
