Sub groups are: Drums, Guitars, Bass, Vocals.
I'm using compression on the bass and some of the drum kit. Guitars are distorted and already seemed compressed.

One midi sampled drum kit, two main rythm guitars one solo guitar all electric.
Bass was through a modeler that had slight compression on its patch

Are you familiar with using the “presets” in Reacomp? If yes...
I like to play around with the NY style bus compression...good for drums and bass...geared to mix the compressed signal with the uncompressed signal....if you hit the drop down, and scroll a bit, you should find it...for drums....adjust the threshold to hit a gain reduction around -3 to -4dB max...the wet mix, and dry mix sliders can be adjusted to taste...
for bass...pretty much the same...except I may reduce the default ratio a notch or two, and I shoot for a gain reduction peak of -2 to -3dB.
