yep, experience and personal taste.
For me, I started out with the Ren compressor back in the day on my 2 buss. I would slap it on at the end of a mix, and be like "WTF..this blows..why would someone do this?". Then I was at my friends studio when he was doing a record for a label. That C2 was in there even during tracking. So I went and tried that. I noticed that everything started popping out especially when i started Eqing the drums. I built the entire mix and then took off the compressor..and the mix lost all it's life again..so that was my personal experience and why I do it the way I do it.
