Default Re: I hate compressors!

Funny this should come up. About a month ago I bought a compressor limiter and have been fiddling with it at home and at band practices. Before I had one I was pretty sure I knew how they worked. Now I realize I have much to learn. It's a 2 channel number which I use one channel for my guitar and the other for my vocals.

Here's one thing I think I've learned but I'd like someone to confirm or deny:
When changing volume levels (say like from using it at home to going to band practice) the settings will not be the same to get a usable sound. I can have it sounding sweeter than candy at home but when we get set up for band practice and turn the volumes up I find my sound is cleaner and overall better without the settings I've chosen for my home set up. Not sure why this is, or for that matter even IF it is. It's just what I hear. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is real?
