danbekim 2,976 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Hello everyone! I was surfing the internet searching for Gaga related things to archive, or preserve as I usually do and I stumbled upon this broadcast of the Just Dance music video in either Russia or Ukraine. The recording is pretty LQ, but I think it features a previously unheard mix of the song...? The vocals sound different to me , or could it be the quality of the recording that altered the audio? The bridge of the song is different, but that could be because it's mono.. What do you think? https://mega.nz/file/tUEgiAAL#sjb6gXNTNsw3PehFPM9fb8DC9M0Xdl8sphr-0z97JbI Edited January 7 by danbekim If you have some rad remixes you made laying around, send it to me!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloHangoverz 15,542 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Yeah something definitely seems off. In my experience the MEGA online player distorts audio and makes it sound a little different (flat, pitchy) but there's no denying that bridge, the vocals sound like they haven't been through any post effects. how strange. where did this come from? my head is filled with broken mirrors, so many I can't look away Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the MEGA online player, if you download it, it sounds the same. I was digging through some music channel archives to find something else, but I found this instead, I personally think that it's pitchy because of the quality of the recording, but I wanted to ask for opinions just in case this is some lost media or something If you have some rad remixes you made laying around, send it to me!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTV 12,582 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Its real. But the right channel is missing so it sounds like that. I remember that from the good ol days how the vocals on the YT version are mixed differently from the album and radio version.

I had this thought that it's an alternate mix or something because there's this video on her channel that also has a weird audio difference If you have some rad remixes you made laying around, send it to me!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 This is the same as the released version, it is just slightly slower (TV broadcasters usually speed up or slow down music videos by 1-3% to adjust for the broadcast slot they have to fill, also applies to any TV show or movie they're broadcasting) and one of the stereo channels of the audio is missing. Listen to Just Dance with just one earbud in and you'll see what I mean. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbekim 2,976 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 UPDATE: I found another broadcast recording from VIVA (anyone remember those days? ) and this recording also has some weird difference on Colby's vocals I think... it's almost like the reverb on his vox is missing / less or it's even a slightly different vocal take. I might be going crazy about this stupid matter but I'm interested if this is only me or not. If you have some rad remixes you made laying around, send it to me!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvfzme 5,298 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think these are first premix versions. They're not remastered and therefore sound different. It was same with Stupid Love. It sounded raw and incomplete. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicaSkas 22,287 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I feel like back in the day we used to rip the MV versions as well as the single even though technically it's the exact same song, the Music Video versions would sound different at times Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster?
