But also realize the compressor after the EQ is going to change what you did with the EQ; so think about using the compressor in conjunction with EQ and the EQ in conjuction with the compressor. The setting on the compressor and what outputs from the compressor will depend on the settings on whats from the EQ.
I suggest a peak limiter after EQ if you're trying not to go over whatever your determined threshold level you set is.
