In general As per Jim said a compressor can be used to compress the dynamic range (thus the name) to even it out or move instruments or elements back in the sound field which is probably more useful in multi-instrument productions
BUT it can also be used to move an instrument or vocal a bit more forward in the sound field which can be useful in sparse arrangements Or perhaps even a solo instrument ? But the solo guys can likely offer a more informed opinion on that .
