Tempo syncing audio compressors

You may have heard of tempo syncing an audio compressor, but what exactly is it, and how can it be beneficial? Tempo synchronization refers to setting your attack and release times in music based on different musical notes. For instance, the attack time of a semihemidemisemiquaver (¹⁄₁₂₈ note) and the release time of a quaver (⅛ note) correspond with a pre-established beat or rhythm. The problem is not all compressors are designed the same. Gotcha! What's next? Well, use your ears!
