I do a lot of EQ work, sometimes extensive. For instance, for my Most Wanted trailer entry, I cut a lot of the highs on the violin parts where there is a lot of unwanted noise. Though of course you want to keep some of it for the realism, but it was just too much by itself.
I rarely do compression, sometimes on percussion or brass, but only if necessary. If I do compression on an entire track, it is with transparent compression to so it just kind of glues it together. Nothing else.
