Yes, but when you increase the RMS(raise the level globally), those compressed peaks will be back up as close to FS as you need them to be!
Basically, it's like shaving all the buildings in manhattan to 50 stories, and then raising the entire island of manhattan(rms) up so that all those shaved buildings are at or close to peak(110 stories if we use WTC as "full scale").
