This gives you an idea as to how much is really going on; check out the breakdown at the very end. Reaper extras |

VERY cool. I absolutely love hearing these "isolated tracks" that people are posting here and there. It's fascinating to me. I wonder how it is that these folks get ahold of this stuff? I'd think the only way is access to the master tapes, although maybe there is some strong processing software that is able to strip instruments from vocals, in the case of an isolated vocal track. I dunno. All I do know is that I TOTALLY dig hearing the underpinnings of a mix, or vocal without the instruments, or the instruments without the vocal. (I can't tell you how much I loved Jellyfish's "Stack-a-Trax" release from a few years ago--the instrumentation, no vocals. Anwyay, thanks for that, I'd likely have never run across that without your post. Cool. -melne This gives you an idea as to how much is really going on; check out the breakdown at the very end.

Reaper extrasGood question, I've wondered that myself. There is some powerful software out there with the capabilities that you alluded to, the one that is capable of stripping the vocals has been around for some time (anybody remember the famous 'karaoke' button some cassette decks had?). A near-by state of the art studio that I've visited has this at their disposal - ADX Tech
Unbelievably powerful and reasonably priced. In the case of the Reaper Extras (disclaimer, I'm far and away from an audio pro, let alone an expert on vintage recording techniques) it sounds like they somehow accessed the masters (it sounds improbable as I type it, but...) because you can hear different instrumentation/vocalization being bounced between tracks; in other words, they're just not isolating a particular instrument (i.e. organ, percussion, or what have you). In those days of limited tracking space bouncing tracks was a necessity and the engineer would pop the organ track on to the backing vocal track when space became an issue. |

Didn't various (individual) tracks become accessible because of that Guitar hero game, or whatever it was called...?

Most of what you hear here doesn't sound like the original recording. The only thing that does is the vocals, the guitar that goes in and out on the vocal track.
The keyboards are not Allen (or Eric, who played the Hammond,) There wasn't a guiro on the original track, to my memory, and there are other guitars here not played by me or BOC.
I'm wondering if this came from the version used on "Six Feet Under," where there were additional parts recorded. SONY may have provided stems from the original master which were built upon. I have no idea actually.

Also, there's no Albert drums on this track that I can hear, even as leakage. Joe bass ditto.

Thanks for the insight BD; there are some more true isolated tracks uploaded, they sure sound pretty close to the original; whomever did it (if it's not the original) definitely made the extra effort(s) to be faithful to the original. DFTR More Isolated Tracks |
