Yeah it all depends on the sample and what you’re aiming for. I usually have an EQ and a limiter on every track, but sometimes it’s just not necessary. Have a look at the master out EQ analyzer now and then and watch out for spikes in certain frequencies you may not hear due to fatigue and/or speakers / headphones / room acoustics. To make it sound like a real orchestra performing, low shelf away some bass on all non-bass instruments and adjust high ends so no instrument sounds too close or too far. Panning is important to create space in the middle. Lower reverb output until you can only and barely hear it between the notes.
And then forcefully smash it all up against 0 dB with the master limiter and name it “Inspiration”
