Well, compressors/limiters are also great for not overloading your ADC while
getting good volumes in.

And they are unbeatable getting much more punch out of the electric bass. And
they provide power and steadiness in volume to the vocal tracks.

Live you can work without them (if not enough money) but in recording they
simply necessary. Even if you do no mastering...
