That is a horrible, horrible, horrible idea. The likelihood that you will isolate harmonies out of a full mix cleanly is abismal. And the likely result is that the CD mix and the Jammit mix will be of different lengths, tempo, or composition, as it tends to be.
The best option (and if it were up to me, only – but don’t worry, I don’t make decisions anymore), is to chart only what is in the audio you’re working with. If this version of the song has no harmonies, then chart without harmonies.
There’s no point in doing the song without the harmonies (it would be like a song with no chorus). I still have hope though. I just opened the song up in Jammit again and listened to the “Band” stem that’s included on every track and that has the harmony parts included (also what sounds like some maracas). There’s gotta be a way to isolate those parts and they would be in sync with the rest of the stems.
If they’re in the backing track, the instructions you’ll get from farottone will tell you how to isolate that very cleanly. There may be hope for it yet then.

These stems sound amazing and I can’t wait to chart using them. I think it may spoil me though not having to struggle to hear parts buried deep in the mix. Also, the sheet music that’s included with the stems may come in very handy.
Since we have no songs outside of the mainstream (or at least really popular with Rock Band fans, such as Dream Theater), I will submit the first song to step into the “RBN Material” mold for the multitrack pack:
OH. MY. GOD.
Jammit is amazing. I’ve always wanted to see some of these songs in RB, namely:
Volcano Girls – Veruca Salt
Crystallized – The XX
Sometime Around Midnight – The Airbourne Toxic Event
Fly From The Inside – Shinedown
You Think I Ain’t Worth A Dollar – QOTSA (I know there’s a custom out there, but this could have multis!)
Too Young To Fall In Love – Motley Crue
Walk With Me In Hell – Lamb Of God
Redneck – Lamb Of God
God Of Thunder – Kiss
La La Land – Demi Lovato
Bad Day – Daniel Powter (Acapella is better than nothing)
Hate Me – Blue October
Call To Arms – Angels & Airwaves
I know also that Angel Of Death – Slayer was supposed to be on Guitar Hero Metallica but was pulled due to lyrical content, it would probably be a HUGE chore to chart but would be interesting to have.
On the topic of that covers pack, I don’t know if any of you are familiar with the mostly disgusting “Punk Goes Pop” series, but one of their more recent releases had some genuinely good covers, specifically these:
Even though two of these song’s original versions were released by Harmonix, I still think the covers are great!
Not to be rude, but you really should check that “earmarked songs” thread, also the playtesting forum and scheduler if you are allowed in there, before planing on doing songs that might already be in the works. Then again Angel of Death seems to be more or less abandoned by the author, so…
Holy shit, how did I not see that Sometime Around Midnight was on there? That is one of my all-time favourite songs. Sadly it looks like the string parts aren’t available, but still – if no one gets to that before I’m done with my current queue, then I’m definitely charting that.

I just realized Radiohead – Reckoner was scrapped, because I was doing vocals, and Drihscol was handling the rest. Since he’s wandered off, I’ll finish that up instead of Tears For Fears – Pale Shelter.
Probably a good thing, because Pale Shelter stems needed a lot of work to make it sound like the album mix.
