"which is a ridiculous ratio to be using. that means that for every decibel above the threshold you set the compressor would shove it down 96."
this is not true.
if the ratio is 10:1, the compressor will output 1db of sound per every 10db input. 96:1 is essentially just limiting the audio at the threshold.

of course, this is only happening once the threshold is passed.
