compression is used in both of the stages mixing and mastering...
the problem is...it takes a lot to get it right...because two compressors don't add they multiply!
say you have a vocal recorded with a compressor setting 2:1, then when mixing you compress 7:1 (I know it's drastic, just a good example for math) and then mastering will do another 2:1
so 2 x 7 x 2 - 28:1 how drastic compression that is you can easily try...
now...getting the "right sweet spot sound" is matter of experience and lots of learning...mostly from trial and error...good luck.
