The correct manner in which you clean up or process your sound for your track?

I have been really focusing on getting my sounds to sit well in my mix or track. So i am interested i knowing the ideal or most reasonable way to which you begin to process your sound to sit right.
For me once i have isolated a sound i like etc, I would shift volume to appropriate level then eq etc and possibly compress. Is there a preferred method with this?
Is it best to eq before shifting volume levels or vice versa? Not sure if there as a right answer but I thought there may be a more suited procedure, hence my question.
Thanks in advance, |

Invariably, you will have to adjust your volume after EQing because boosting/cutting frequencies will affect the overall level of that track.
While there is no right or wrong way, it's very common to get your levels and panning set to a rough position so that the overall balance is where you want it and parts with overlapping frequencies aren't on top of each other, then do your EQing, readjust levels, EQ/pan some more, readjust levels, etc. It's usually an iterative process. |

| I was under that assumption yes. Which is what I have been doing. As I suppose I was thinking in what best way to maintain the integrity of the sound. But again, that integrity is vast and different depending on what your after! |

lol.
i normally just put random presets on random vst's until stuff sounds techno, and then i compress it before i sidechain it so it will be more bumping. |

| EQing is the main way you achieve this |

| I am all over Eq. I have a good idea now just wanted to see if there were any preferred methods, which have been mentioned above. So thanks again to all. |
