....thing is, if someone is good....as in good......they could share ALL their tricks with you and you still couldn't do what they can do. Because the part that makes the difference is contextual and can't be readily shared, only learned within your own modus operandi and the context of your own perception. So I wouldn't worry about sharing tricks mate
To the OP: Try messing with quite extreme settings to make the comp pump over the top and then tweak attack, release, then threshold and ratio one at a time and see what it does when exaggerated. When you've got it doing some desired 'envelope shaping' like Story rightly calls it, just back off some. Then A/B with bypass gain matched and probably back off some more...or not, depending on desired effect. Basically get the thing doing too much of the RIGHT shapes first, so you can time the attack release easily to the signal and then decide how much of this shaping you want by threshold and ratio. Be aware of threshold being how early in the signal level it grabs it and ratio how hard it does when it does. Experiment. Have fun
