The important takeaway is that it has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with The Beatles being controls freaks (which they are) or wanting it to be this way (it HAD to be this way to work at all). Read the bottom section "De-Mixing The Beatles: Rock Band" Sort of like taking your voice off an answer phone message with having the background still on.”īut completely separating the vocals to their own track where they can be completely muted is just about impossible. So when you don't play the bass (correctly) in "Twist and Shout" you don't hear the bass. And so we had someone here at Abbey Road, a guy named Simon Gibson and an engineer called Paul Hicks who filtered everything and so separated, made what would have been multitracks out of one track, if that makes sense. The biggest problem for us is that a lot of the Beatles stuff isn't recorded separately, they started recording on two tracks, so the Cavern club which is "Twist and Shout," "I Saw Her Standing There," for instance, "Boys" is on two tracks - all of the drums, bass and guitars together.
“Well, I don't know if anyone is aware, but the way these games work is you control guitar, bass and drums, if you don't play the bass correctly you don't hear the bass. Here is an answer from an interview Giles Martin gave back in 2009 regarding this: In fact to make Beatles Rock Band, one of the engineers that helped create the 2009 remasters had to invent technology to grab the bass frequencies from tracks that had bass, and do the same for other instruments in order to make the kind of multitracks the game needed! The extensive Jimi Hendrix collection has similar issues.
That is, those 4 track recordings no longer (or never did) have each instrument completely isolated. But if you want one of the early Beatles songs from Beatle Rock Band, understand that Paul's "isolated" bass ceased to exist for all time once his bass track was combined with other instruments/vocals to make room for more instruments. If you are interested in Coldplay's Clocks (a song from 2002), everything will sound perfect. "The second thing to be aware of is the nature of the recording technology for the songs you want to listen to. I'll quote from a TalkBass forum posting.
