Compressor distortion is caused attack/release times being too fast.
Also, you should use "gain" only to make up gain for what you have lost 
compressing; if you turn it up much, you could experience distortion as 
well. I think that turning it halfway is too much already.

Hint: mix the various tracks without using the compressor, then finally 
use it to enhance sound.
