Compression Discussion

Please only talk here if you believe you have a very good grasp on:

What it means, When to use, When not to, and How

I want to get to a point of 100% understanding Compression. I hate when I feel like I need it but just start making settings that I'm just kinda playing by ear in the middle of Mixing, i believe if i get it down, I'll reach my final sound more "appropriately"

So here's my lil tit bit; Compression is for controlling peaks in volumes, or is it to bring the lower volumes up to the peak??? heck sometimes idk.
But you pick a Threshold, which is the point at which the tool starts working, you set you Attack and Release by ear for the right sound, and you set your Gain which is where the compressor (at the point becoming active) pushes the level up, but I mean what exactly is the point in that when you have peaks, won't you be turning up your peaks too?

See I go round and round with it.

Also why when you put on a compressor the sound of the track is instantly CRAP. there's a shitty tube sound that i literally HATE. it won't become clear again unless you boost it's gain like 30dB it seems like.

idk, I'm very interested to hear what everyone has to say so thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge
