To help understand this -12 thing I need you to do this. If you have a pro level mixer look at the leds. You'll see that the "clip" led is at +12.You say "what difference does that make?".The reason is we didn't go from analog tape to digital computers and CDs. There was another step. We went from analog tape to digital tape machines BUT & this is a BIG but. All of the rest of the gear was still analog.
Compression is a good tool but often misused.It's real job was to take recored material with a large dynamic range and "squeeze"it so that it could be pressed onto a record that only has a dynamic range of around 54dB.
