When should a producer Eq, Compress, etc

[Sequence2]

Lets say you have all your samples/ instruments complete and you are at the stage where you can start putting together everything to create your song
Do most producers put the song together and then EQ/ compress? Or do they EQ/ compress all their sounds and then create their song after?

I do it always at the end

But I think lots of producers use it at end because if they would compres it on start it would sound diffrent

I usually do faster because it's nice to focus on 1 thing at once --

1. Make beat
2. Arrange it etc.
3. Mix it
4. Create all your bring ins etc to make the song flow nicely!

Here's a quick demo on the EQ/Compression and mastering!

I prefer to make the beat, arrange everything and set it in order, then Eq and compress the sounds.

But I think its up to you how you do it

Me too, i hate arranging after i mix for whatever reason.
