Though it is true that a Neumann, (I own an M 147), or similar microphone will give your vocals (and other intruments) greater depth and clarity, unless what you're recording is vocal-critical, ie., dependent upon the nuance and sybillance of the vocalist, you can get the sound you need from almost any microphone if used properly. By "properly" I mean "know your microphone." Take it outside and let it record normal, everyday sounds. Then, stand 8" in front of it and speak loudly, "This spring I've purchased a pot and a passle of pigs." Repeat these words at varying distances and at different volumes. I gaurantee you will learn more about your microphone in 15 minutes that you knew about your other mics before you sold them on ebay. You will also get to meet your neighbors if you haven't already!
In regards to compression, I use it to bring all the elements of the music into synch. As long as you have tracked to a click or some other reference, compression can bring your tracks into perfect allignment, wherever your ears tell you that is. Remember, there are as many variables as there are musicians so at the very least count each instrument in the mix as its own entity worthy of its own "place". You'll be surprised how often the seemingly smallest component in the mix can be manipulated to get the "big" sound you want.
