Default Parallel compression in Reaper

Yesterday I watched someone applying parallel compression in a daw. He duplicated an audio drum track. The original was dry without any fx, the 2nd was with a compressor fx.
Finally he added the compressed track to the dry track by moving the volume fader to the desired amount.

In Reaper one can do that in a simpler way - a CPU friendlier way.
You only need one track and apply compressor fx. By moving the dry/wet knob of the fx plug-in you are able to add the desired amount of parallel compression. If the knob is moved to the very right(=100%wet) the audio signal is completely compressed.

Is this procedure correct ? Or is the better way to duplicate a track in order to add parallel compression ?
By the way compression is not the only fx one could apply, one could also first apply an eq in order to affect only a certain range of frequencies.
