I decided to make a new thread for this cause it was getting buried in the minotuar thread, which it has nothing to do with.
But anyways, in 2010 some instrumental versions of Doolittle tracks appeared and I created a thread about them here (http://forum.frankblack.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20184). They were culled from the multi-track versions as part of the Rock Band game.

Anyways, fast-forward to 2015 and it kinda came up again on the minotaur thread. This led to me doing some more digging and I managed to find the full set of Doolittle multi-track versions.
You can download these here: https://mega.nz/#!slY0nBLZ!tiNqQbKUud9DkI9OkKpVc16SNgipPdkjMNVcPL2mhho
You'll need Audacity to play them - they're in .mogg format.

Audacity also allows you to tinker with them, so of course I decided to create an instrumental version of the album for my own personal listening pleasure.
If anyone else wants to listen to it you can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!Eo4CDZDJ!jJYQ4VP6vH8vwqzONtQwRMd86JmmOimKHHZpWQwJEGI
The file sizes are small cause they all end up as mono, except for tame for some reason.

I had quite a bit of fun with this, and encourage anyone to have a go themselves, and if you think you manage to create something interesting, please share it.

The instrumentals I made aren't quite true for many of the songs - the multi-tracks usually have Kim's vocals in the same track as franks guitar, so to totally remove kims vocals, you also remove franks guitar. Not good. Some I managed to remove and leave franks guitar, others I couldn't.
They're also LOUD - they're like this from the original game source. I tinkered with ways of making them quieter and removing some of the brick-walling, but decided it wasn't too bad really and left it as is.

Anyways, I think they sound pretty cool.

The whole mix is clipped but not any single track - just select all tracks (CTRL-A) in Audacity and apply the amplification filter with -10 as the value. The whole mix will be back to normal levels without clipping.

Kind of funny how Kim vocals were being relegated to the last two tracks with additional guitars...! Don't know if it was intended at the time of the recording or if Guitar Hero made it this way. Interesting.

I played round with doing a negative amplification and that did work, but decided to keep 'em all untouched for my first run. Some of the songs are fine, but others, particularly tame and gouge away, are quite bad.

It's really interesting to see how the songs are put together.
And it's quite fun playing producer. My current fave is a version of tame with -10 amplification over the whole thing, then all vocals and franks guitar removed and then bass and joeys guitar amplified back up again. just sounds so nasty. love it!

Sure. I must thank you again for pointing this mogg thing. I didn't know those Guitar Hero multitracks had been ripped. Can't believe I missed that for all those years.

That's just fucking great. Besides discovering every detail behind guitar tracks, vocals, etc... it's also a perfect tool for learning those songs on guitar, bass, drums, and even vocal harmonies.

BTW, if anyone finds Sad Punk in this format... That's the only one missing from the whole set. That would be the cherry on top.

Arm - no worries. I have a bunch more, but they're nowhere near as good quality as the ones I've done so haven't bothered. If there's interest I could see if I could begin to work through them. Might take me a while, but if you're keen and willing to wait.......

No, that's cool, thanks for offering but you shared quite a few!

It was great getting to hear those shows. No matter how much I enjoy Melkweg, there's nothing like a complete Catholics show. Sure, maybe sometime in the future, If I see a set list that looks really strange and different maybe I'll ask if you have it, but otherwise, it's cool.

And they are pretty good quality, too. Aside from novelty or strictly from a souvenir point of view, shows with poor sound quality aren't any fun to listen to...believe me, I've tried!

Really, just wanted to thank you for uploading those concerts in the past, they're fun to listen to

cheers

Thanks again benji for those Doolttle no vocal tracks. Great to hear the album this way. A real southern gothic road trip out west.

Glad you liked them. I find myself listening to them quite a lot actually. They're really good to run too!

And Arm, there's a few more live shows coming up soon so watch out. I'll do dime and mega I think.

Do you know you only have to de-amplify all tracks a bit to get rid of the clipping ?

I think I already visited your youtube page before. Are you the original uploader of this BF Munich concert ?

picpic - yeah, I know how to get rid of the little bit of clipping that there is, but I actually enjoy it that way. makes it sound all rough and dirty. like albini produced it instead of squeaky-clean norton.
all personal preference after all, but if people wanna mix it differently, then download the tracks and do it themselves.....

i wasn't the 'original' uploader of the BF Munich 1996 vid to dime, but I think I was the first to post a few to youtube many many years ago. it's a great gig that one.

Oh by the way, did you ever found "Sad Punk" in multitrack version ? I think it's the only non-Doolittle Pixies track that was available on those console games, and probably ripped like the other ones.

Still looking for Sad Punk. I'd like to find out the exact guitar tab for BF (not Joey) on the outro.

Multitracks are great to learn guitar parts (and all the rest).

Um, anyway these could be available as MP3 files or WAVs? I don't get this mogg thing.

Also, if these are from some Guitar Hero game, I thought those were all recreated tracks and not the original recordings? Or did I hear that wrong?

The mogg thing is necessary because it keeps all of the different parts of each track as seperate files, so the vocals, bass etc.
You could take these mogg files and save each individual part as a seperate file but then there'd be no way of playing them back at the same time again.

These are not recreated tracks - they're the real deal. Surprising I know.

I would suggest downloading Audacity - it's free, and opening up one and have a look and listen. it's fascinating stuff.

Really? Mine does. If I click on 1 it opens up a audacity window with 1 track for each of the different parts of the song. So some vocal ones, some drum ones, some bass ones. Then you can play all at once or mute all but the bass for example. You can make the drums louder or any other crazy combo you can think off. I'll post some pics tomorrow but it super easy.

Troubles A Foot: I just dragged in one of the .mogg files into my already-open Audacity window, and all the individual tracks showed up like in Benji's example (I'm on a Mac).

Yeah dragging the file in that way worked. What didn't work was dragging it into my program icon which is normally how I do things.

Are the duplicate tracks like a different mic or something?
