Thanks for the info.

Answers:

1.) Out of famitracker do you guys split the wav's into separate wav's for each channel, or keep it as one wav file out?

It depends on the context of how I'm going to process it and whether or not I want the result to end up in stereo.

2.) What sort of EQ and processing (if any) do you put on the tracks?

Depends on context, usually compression to make the attacks articulate. Sometimes light reverb or delay to give the impression that something is playing inside a room.

3.) Any tips for EQing triangle / sawtooth?

Also depends on context, but, as little as possible. Maybe roll lows off if there are issues at that end.

I think there was a thread about this already.

I use Cool Edit Pro (Audition) for most mutlitrack recordings or Soudforge for stereo recording. But any recording software should work fine. You just need to learn how to work with your soundcard. (BTW I record through integrated soundcards a lot / and lots of instruments, as well a voice... / and it can sound Ok, if you use preamp or mixer).

I also want to add: http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php?s= … stcount=10

You should be able to plug in another known audio source that sounds LOUD and play itback to a result that is also LOUD. That's the beginning of getting a good result  the software and gear are beside the point otherwise.

Logic is what I've been using lately.
Reaper is also nice.

This.

AUDACITY!

I am using Audials Tunebiet and it works good and you can try it.

Im using ableton 9 and protools 10, a little overkill but your shit will always sound like what you record(only you can make it good)

the cheap way out: little sony voice recorder. plug headphone jack of computer to mic of recorder set it to the highest quality and set computer master volume to 3 or 4.

Invest in a proper soundcard. Most integrated ones are no good for recording.

No, I am using the jack. That's just how terrible it is!

yeah, try to evolve away from using a microphone. Direct sound from the jack is what you need to eventually be doing.
