You can’t record cake effects when tracking.  Just about every soft fix comes post recording, ie., you only add effects to the clean recording.  You’ll need to record thru external hardware, an analog channel strip or something similar.  Capture the sound you require going in.

as to settings, that is totally source song dependent.  Tempo should determine the time settings on compressors to reinforce or pulse to the tempo.   eq is dependent on upon finding the tracks’ most important frequencies and the relationship between other track’s defining frequencies. You’re best option is to try different presets and work from those.

Since the introduction of patch points is it possible to directly record audio affected by plug-ins and soft synths. When doing so, it is a good idea to record the raw audio and MIDI data (if any) too.

 

To record audio with plug-ins use a patch point to send the audio to another track or use an aux track. Record enable both the original track (to capture the dry signal) and the track with the patch point input or aux track (to capture the wet track). For synths see synth audio recording.

When you go to the top of the Pro Channel and click the open folder icon, you get a long list of guitar pro-channel configurations you can try.
