Rather than using one heavy compressor, I would recommend using some light compression first, then go into some heavier compression. Allow the first one to just grab the overly loud parts, and the second one to level out the entire mix.
This is a really good tip - I call this graduated compression, and it’s fantastic for certain instances. Would you like to show an example to compare yours and mine for students reading this thread to see how you use graduated compression to tidy up my mix?
