unless your "talent" has crappy mic technique. keeps the signal from clipping if they are pretty inconsistent. i usually use a light 4:1 to keep things under control, threshold pretty high to just where they pop out of their normal range. most good singers i don't use compression on tracking. i'll just run the level a tad lower and let them work the mic.
but, yes, it can cause problems on the front end. although automation can make up for a little of this in post.
