To me the most important effect to learn is EQ.
For me compression isn't really needed most of the time.

If thats what you have available then make the best of it.
Ideally, I would export the tracks and mix in pro tools.

the basic principles of mixing are the same in any daw or on any console for that matter. you should learn what eqs/compressors/reverbs/delays/etc do. that'll help you no matter what you're using. and not just what they do in general but what the knobs do in those effects, how they affect sound, why and when to use them, etc. then you can build on that knowledge base and evolve.
also, a MAJOR thing in mixing is the sound sources and arrangement. if you have good sounds and good arrangement from jump, mixing becomes a way easier job. recording stuff well, having quality samples, not having a song with like 15 things (no matter how dope they each sound on their own) playing at the same time...that shyt goes a long way. it really does.
another thing is, maybe even before touching any fx, get your levels and panning worked out. go through your song 2-3-5 times, whatever, just listen and move faders and pan pots and try to find a general volume and a space for each sound. then when the song sounds decent just off the strength of that, then you start fine tuning with the eq and compression. and then go from there with everything else.
i think that's a good basic framework to start from when mixing.
