FamiTracker
hi! i'm still a beginner with famitracker, so i have some questions.
if you want to put a song (made with famitracker) on myspace or make a real song ( you know, crystal castles, kap bambino [ i took cc as an example, not for copy them, lol] ) what program do you use, or how do you do that?. cause when i make a song with famitracker, the song sounds weak and poor and very home-made, and when i listen to anamanaguchi it sounds like a completely different world.
In FamiTracker, you can actually export the entire track you compose into a WAV file. When you export the song into a WAV file, you have uncompressed audio. To export the song to WAV, finish your song to your liking & go to File > Export to WAV. Once there, you can either export the song to a WAV file based on how many repetitions you make (if it loops,) or you can export it based on time (in minutes & seconds). Give the file a name, save it anywhere on your computer & press Save.
With this, you can edit the song in a music editor like Audacity (which is open source). You can add a volume fade in the end of the WAV file (if you intend to play a loop once or twice) & you can boost the file's overall volume (I suggest doing this because the exported WAV file will have a lower volume than what you actually hear in FamiTracker).
Naturally, Audacity has a plug-in system that lets you use the Lame DLL plug-in to encode your finished product to MP3. This is perfect for uploading to your own website.

Well, Anamanaguchi [i]is[/i] a different world because real instruments (guitar, bass, and drums) are mixed with the nsf after it's finished. Also, the band probably uses a separate .wav file for each nsf channel to have better control over the final mix.
Don't use Famitracker to rip nsfs....use a standalone player like VirtuaNSF or Nintendulator (Winamp plugin). Winamp has a "waveout" feature which exports to .wav while the nsf is playing. Personally I prefer to record directly with an audio editing app (such as Audacity or Goldwave), because I can adjust the volume before it's recorded and get the very best signal-to-noise ratio.
FamiTracker doesn't rip NSFs; it exports the notes from the song you've tracked. But yes; I agree, to a point. The WAV export function has a slightly lower signal-to-noise ratio (what do you expect from an MFC application?). :P
That's why I typically use a third-party program to boost the WAV's volume afterwards (I use Vegas Pro to manipulate music & video files; I like it because it has volume & decibel control, as well as the addition of volume/video fades, volume/video intensity envelopes, the ability to overlap media files & the ability to cancel any noise from an audio file).
In either case, there are many ways to get a recording of your songs at a very professional level. The hard part is choosing your programs to do so.

Oops....by "rip", I meant export to wav. Sorry for the confusion.
Another thing I think Anamanaguchi does is playback NSFs on the actual NES console, which results in the most accurate sound but doesn't include expansion sound (non-emulated, anyway).
