The idea is that 3 compressors doing 3db of gain reduction is going to be less noticable than one compressor doing 6db of gain reduction... and let me add from personal experience that 3 or 4 compressors each doing 3-5 db of gain reduction can be a gift from above!! [the caveat being that they can't be shit compressors... no ART, DBX, nor TL Audio shit in the audio path!!]
