6. Comp>EQ. The Compressor and EQ can be reordered in the signal path. By
default, the signal passes through the compressor before passing through
through EQ. When reordered, the EQ is placed before the compressor in the
signal path.
Power User Tip: Placing the compressor before the EQ allows you to make dramatic
changes to the EQ settings without needing to alter the compressor setting. However, if
you place the EQ before the compressor, you can better control different frequencies,
achieving a more natural response.
