[Mindful]

thanks Jay.

One other thing. should I take the time to work on EQ before I compress or after? does it really matter?

I personaly try not to add any extra bass before compression(say on a kick drum for example)
So on somthing like a kick I will EQ(but not boost any bass freqs, compress and then boost the bass(then probably compress again)
If you use the Sonalksis compresser or Sony wave hammer you can limit wit the compression.
I tend not to limit drums ect unless its in an extreme way NIN style.
