This works with different types of plug ins other than just compressors.

Yes, this would be helpful in getting to know where to start the settings for male/female voice, acoustic picking/strumming, electric lead, bass — and what sounds you’re trying to produce with them. Lots to learn, a lifetime. Add that to upstream EQ and the choices bump up an order of magnitude. And that’s just with native plug-ins.
But on the subject of how this or that compressor affects tone, that seems like an entirely different thing.
