Yeah, but it's all too easy to get a little heavy handed with your threshold knob. I like to compress certain mixer tracks together very harshly (usually with a side chain), and some (vocals in particualar) hardly at all, with a limiter at the end of the chain to take the edge off some of the naughty trancients. It also "squarifies" the peaks of sine/ triangular/ saw waves to add a bit more texture and thickens up the bass.
