I noticed this bouncing around the blogosphere this morning, and initally didn’t think much of it.  Anyone who’s been around the block and played vocals a few times in Rock Band knows that singing isn’t required… you can hum your way through the songs and do pretty well.  However this woman decided to test out the alternative vocal theory by playing her flute to the vocals of Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold.  Sound wise it’s alright… not a big fan of hearing a flute and Avenged Sevenfold together… I mean, this isn’t Jethro Tull (sorry Mr. Anderson).  But how effective is playing your flute into the mic?  See for yourself above, but her 98% on Expert and 5 gold stars should tell you that it works pretty damn well.

P.S. Please… no band camp references in the comments, OK?

There’s more… after the jump there’s more instrument/vocal mashup vids…

Wired was able to get a good in depth look into how the Beatles: Rock Band vocal harmonies work.  As expected, instead of just one mic, you will now be able to connect up to to three mics at a time.  These three mics still count as one player, and you’ll be able to select “solo” or “harmonies” when playing.  Solo just gives you one line to pay attention to while singing.  Harmonies give you one line for the lead singer, and two other lines for the other two singers.

The nice thing is that you technically don’t have to sing harmonies; three singers can all sing the lead vocal track, but you won’t max your score unless you do harmonize.  After the song, you’ll be able to see how the singers did together, or you can select to see additional detail which will show how all three singers did.
