On snare, I prefered EQ>Compression but on kick, I prefered Compression>EQ. Great lesson Emily.

Good call. I do like the kick with compression first, but go back and forth with the snare.
I do both sometimes, compress first and get my settings on the comp, eq to taste, then is needed an SSL style to control anything the eq process throws up ;-)
" Trust your ears " Thanks for the A/B lesson ( My ears are saying EQ first )
Depends, the snare got more sustain by eq into compression, and the kicks were harder to tell as both kicks were very full sounding, so it didn't make as much difference to my ears. Normally I mix the bass first, and then tuck the kick under it, so I tend to want to control more with eq before comp. Either way, there is a difference, and it's good to know.
She’s back🙌🏻

I liked the two samples that had compression first. Another informative video. Thanks!

Compression first for us!
There is a 3rd alternative, which I guess could be construed as a compromise of sorts. Subtractive EQ going into Compression then, additive EQ after compression. I use this from time to time.
