Since I heard the multitracks, I always hear the loud sigh from Paul right after the first line in She's Leaving Home. When you isolate them and hear everything, you can never un-hear them. It gives a whole new dimension to the music. Good stuff.

Yes. They're called stem files, and can be combined to play the full version of a song. They're not the proper multitracks in many cases, but 2009 isolations of many of the instruments (some of the songs were recorded on two-track, and even the later songs had more than one instrument on the same track, so they all had to be isolated for the game).

So the "instrument-drop-out" thing must be a noticeable and important feature of the game. I never played a Rock Band game...........if I'm figuring this right, the audible mix would be (e.g.) sans guitar ...

Hey new guy, what are the other files? Just blocks of songs together?

Yup, that's what they are. Some songs straddle two files and can't be opened without both. Luckily, the Huge Medley isn't one of those.

It's an interesting collection. I've not played the game, and what I can't fathom is, why are the files multi-track at all? I found this:

"To turn classic Beatles songs into the stages of a video game, each song needed to be separated into its several components, so that if the person playing the guitar misses a note, the guitar ...

I must be the last person to find out about Beatles Rock Band multi-tracks. I've downloaded all of them from http://www.mediafire.com/?87sa4hvo8dx4k , except I can't get access to Abbey Road Side 2 (Huge One, parts 1-3). Can someone send me a usable link or email me the mogg file directly? I'd be forever grateful.

I had the same problem,and those 3 files are still listed as broken/undownloadable. Luckily I found an alternative source:

Seven 500MB RAR files, and it's a slow, painful and tricky download, but hey, it worked

Totally. It's like those few spare moments in 'Anthology' when George Martin sits at the mixing board and looks reflective, listening to the bare elements of genius...

Haha same.

It may sound silly but I totally feel like a producer when doing it.

I just realized that I had a copy of Audacity just sitting on my desktop, so I downloaded a couple of tracks. Voila! This is definitely awesome stuff. I love geeky stuff like stripping away elements of songs to hear the hidden stuff.

Man, you guys know way more than I do about all this stuff. I can't understand one thing Joe said!

That's probably because these tracks are taken from Rock Band.

I'm new to the forum and have been looking for multitracks for Band On The Run that are now shutdown via share sites to due federal investigations. Are there any multitrack links for remixing Band On The Run downloads that are still valid as of today ? I only find Beatles multitracks that are. Thanks for the help.

This is truly awesome! I've been having so much fun with Audacity over the past few days.

It's great to be able to hear the bassline in WMGGW and the piano in OG, for example.

Nikoz, I had the same problem with Part One yesterday, but now it's back up... maybe 2 and 3 will become available soon?
