I am beginning my first recording project and need some help setting up my effects processor. Right now, I am using an Alesis RA-100 power amp and Alesis Studio One speakers as monitors. My effects chain is currently set up as follows:

POD pro
dbx 166A compressor/limiter/noise gate
Alesis MEQ-230
BBE 882 Sonic Maximizer
VS-1880 Workstation
Computer
Sonic Foundry Sound Forge - for editing and effects
Magix Samplitude - for midi

Is this setup correct, or should I move the effects in my chain around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be moving effects around AS NEEDED....

The idea is for minimal signal path -- only put something in the path if it NEEDS to be there.........
 
What Blue Bear said. Also it is most common to use effects during the mix down stage. If you are just beginning, it may make sense for you to think of that as a hard and fast rule for a while, though there are no actual hard and fast rules.
