Let me rephrase this!
It's not a rule but a guideline which works most of the time.
The idea is to cut down unwanted frequencies before you apply the compressor. 
That way, it doesn't have to work hard on these nasties!

  Well, that's not always the case!
  The rule is that if you are going to cut down some frequencies, you apply the 
EQ before compressing.
  If your increasing the levels of some frequencies, then you apply the 
compressor before the EQ.

    It's better to put a compressor on the track before you start messin with e 
q. After that, it's just a matter of experimenting by changing around 
frequencies and band types.

        I have that problem sometimes also. You have to keep messing with the 
frequencies and gain levels in the bands. Also, are you adding a compressor 
from the sonitus effects? That helps as well.

          I have done that and it does help sometimes, but I find that it 
doesn't remove the boomyness. I don't have a problem with bass, but I know that 
it shouldn't overpower the rest of the mix.

            You might want to try and add a high shelf setting in your e q's.

              I have 2 questions for all you experts.
              1 How do you find unwanted frequencies and remove them? How do 
you get the most out of a kick drum or a bass guitar if it's too boomy 
sounding? I wouldn't want to remove all the low frequencies, because then it 
would sound flat, but at the same time I wouldn't want to overpower the mix. 

              2 How would I remove hiss from a loop that I downloaded? I would 
like to get the most out of these loops, but some of them are messy sounding.
