Mastering and Dynamic Range

I like my tracks to have a pro feeling to them, but I've been seeing that normally mastering audio engineers have to make louder music every time they master, so every time I have to make a master for a song that I'm recording I see that I have to reduce it's dynamic range more and more to compete with other "professional sounding" tracks because today when you record a song that isn't as loud

Studio Projects B1 microphone question

I ordered a Studio Projects B1 microphone off of eBay and I got it today. All the pictures I have seen of them show the mic just plain with no dials or switches on the front but this mic says Studio Projects B1 and then it has a switch on the front that can either select: -, -10dB, or -20dB. Then on the back it says CE and has another switch with options that are: -, 75, and 150.

Studio project B1 Microphone

I have a studio Project B1 mic and I bought a phantom power 48v amp as it stated that I would need one to get the mic working. I used an XLR to XLR from the mic to the phantom power, then an XLR to Jack lead from the phantom power to the mic input port on my computer but the mic still doesn't work. Does anybody know how I can get the mic working? do I need a mixer, turntable or something?
