The Gate and Compressor can be assigned in any order, although
it is customary to place a gate before a compressor.
Basically, this means the gate cuts out the unwanted sounds (usually
noise) leaving the compressor to only compress what is necessary.
Also, a compressor will tend to shrink the dynamic range of a
signal, making it more difficult for a gate to distinguish between
unwanted and wanted signal (Compressors increase the noise floor).
