Get your volume levels close to being right on each track first.
from here, I usually start with EQ on any track that needs it. Always EQ a single track with all the tracks playing. Never solo a track and EQ unless there is something really funky with that track. Remember, you're Eq'ing to make the tracks all sound good together. If you EQ single tracks, they will sound good alone but not good together
I usually add compression next if needed
Last, I add reverb, delay or any other effects
