most people will give you good staring points. But your basically asking "how do I master my song." Which is an extremely unique task to each producer. The eq and compressor on the 2500 aren't unique. I suggest that you research master eq and compression techniques, unless you unaware of how compressors and EQ'ing works and what it does - then of course start with that.

Compressors reduce the range of volume of a signal, there are many paramteres effecting how it does this. Quickly or slow, hard or soft etc..

EQ's are pretty straightforward, I would advise that if you use it on your master do so very very tiny amounts to reduce certain problem areas.
