Quick UA Compressor question, anyone?

So I have been using my Apollos and UA plug ins for making demos.
I have had not had much time for studying as I have been songwriting.

Howeverm I am gonna start to record vox and guitar for people, and I don't have a great deal of knowledge re compressors,
BUT, I have been doing this, following UA's 5 min 1176 tips video, I have been setting the input and compressor levels as suggested when recording, seems AMAZING!
Then if there is anything that jumps out I can just adjust it with clip gain in Pro Tools, no need to use a further compressor.

Is it ok to do it like this? seems to get amazing results on VOX and bass guitar.

Of course, why not? You obviously enjoy the sound, so go that . Have an eye on the final results and tweak it later if necessary.
Don’t know the video and the suggested settings, but if it works for you - great!

I think it's good to commit early on, the best way to learn and develop your skills.
