Usually for me (and most home recording people) it is still necessary because of background noise that is not eliminable by the EQ.
About the reverb/compression order, it can go either way. It depends on what kind of reverb you are adding. Sometimes compressing after can change the reverb in unwanted ways. On the other side, sometimes reverbing after can fault the initial compression.
About the stereo condenser mics, I was only suggesting that they are almost always necessary for recording acoustic guitars.
Spinless:
You mean one sound file into different tracks? Not really. Sometimes if the instruments or sounds are in different frequency ranges or something else that allows you to separate them, then it is possible.

Good point.

I'm assuming you mean taking out, say...the guitar track from one single track recording? The only way to do this I can think of is to get, like, a 50 band EQ and find the specific frequencies associated with the guitar and take the other ones out, save that as a different file name and repeat the process for each instrument in question. This is not in any way recommended. It's tedious and will likely sound bad. The thing with recording is that you have to think ahead. If you want to fuck around with the guitar and/or the vocals (just for example) separately, you need to record them on different tracks initially, allowing you to make the mix you desire and then mix it down into one big final mix. I'm sorry but if you've already recorded something without separate tracks for each part you're kinda out of luck.

You've just identified the problem every home recordist faces.
Mikendher:
Nope, my problem is lack of instruments. I need more :-)

Heck yeah more instruments. I wish I knew how to play some bowed instruments. That would be rockin!
