Is there an optimal workflow that should be followed regarding the application of effects, compression etc for specific instruments/vocals when mixing to get the best possible sound?



I guess the correct answer is no, but I would use shaping tools (EQ and compression) before effects (reverb, delay, ...).
Should compression go before EQ or after EQ? I usually do compression first, but I think sometimes EQ first might work out also.

EDIT: I just checked, I normally do any high or low pass filters first, then compression, then EQ, then reverb, delay ... Here's the same question answered elsewhere: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/533621-order-plugins-drums-guitar-bass.html
