Yeah, thats not really the purpose of a compressor. If you want it louder, 
make it louder. If you want it quiet but compressed, then lower the threshold on 
the compressor.

That being said, I really like the UAudio compressors 1176 and LA2A but they 
don't have thresholds I think - sort of minimalist controls.

I was talking with one of the guys from UA at the NAMM show in Anaheim last 
January and I said I really appreciate the vintage recreations, but why keep 
the same set of limitations? Why not expand their capabilities which is easily 
done in software (as they have done in minor ways on things like the Roland 
Space echo) but ultimately their reason was that people psychologically won't 
believe they are vintage sounding if they make any improvements. So it all comes 
down to perceptions not reality.
