I personally work in much the same way as you've described, but with one big exception - I never add any effects until the tracks are mixed. This is, in fact, possibly the only thing which almost everyone I've worked with agrees upon. The sound of an instrument in isolation doesn't sound the same as the instrument in the mix and so you won't know if any effects are needed until the balance of the mix is complete.

Other than that, you appear to me to be on the right lines.

ROG I'm going to try adding the effects after I mix the Drums,Bass, and rhythm.
