Because all of the Beatles' master recordings were originally recorded on 4-track and 2-track equipment, multiple instruments shared the same tapes. In order for the music to work with Rock Band, Giles Martin, son of the George Martin who oversaw the original production of most of the Beatles' music, had to spend months using digital filters to create separate tracks for each instrument.

Paul McCartney gave himself the role of "Executive Tweaker" when working on the game.
"McCartney told me that his role in the project was 'executive tweaker,' but the better title might be watchdog." -Giles Martin, Music Producer for The Beatles: Rock Band

Every individual digital track made from the Beatles master recordings that were sent to Harmonix to make The Beatles: Rock Band were low-fidelity copies imprinted with static. This was a security measure to assure that The Beatles' music wouldn't be sampled by other artists in the event that the recordings were leaked.
These low-quality copies were used throughout development, and replaced with high-quality versions for production.
