compression

[westg8]

Hello there. I'd just like to know if anybody can tell me how to use the compression tool in cool edit. I understand the basic concept of compression in general - but all these graphs and ratio numbers i don't quite get. the vocals that i record always fluctuate so much, as well as the bass guitar that is recorded (a low E gets a louder sound then the D string). Can someone point me to a link that explains cool edits compression? or can someone explain what each section of the compression tool in CE does? thanks
