Octopus's Garden with guide vocal

Post by No Bozos »

When the Beatles Rock Band multi-tracks first began circulating, I noticed there was a faint guide vocal on the drum track of Octopus's Garden. Interestingly, Ringo only had the first verse written at the time the backing track was recorded, and sang the first verse three times throughout the recording. On the Rock Band drum track, the drums mostly drowned out the vocal, but with the current isolating tricks, I was able to separate the vocal and drums. I then amplified that faint vocal and dropped it back on the official track after silencing the proper vocals. Kind of cool! :)

There should be a collection of just these guide vocals from the Rockband sources. We got this, Paul's vocalizastion of George's guitar solo from Something, John's original vocal from Run For Your Life, a bit of guide vocal of Paul from With A Little Help From My Friends.. the chat during the solo from In My Life.. anything else?

Good idea! But to find out what else might be hidden among the multitracks, someone would have to shoulder the time consuming task to scrutinize all separated tracks from Rockband :? .
