it's used to reduce the difference between loud and soft. Have you looked in the Manual?

Using a compressor , sparingly, can make your recordings "pop" with a little more "life" than what they would normally have.
If you over-compress, you can mash the life ( dynamics ) out of your recording, so use it sparingly. 2: 1 ratio is usually a good place to begin.
Make sure your track ( or tracks) are all set at the volume that you want FIRST, THEN apply compression where wanted.
