Well, I will make it official...... the problem is definitely NOT your singing! You have a great ability there.
But I'm not convinced a better pre is what you need either. By the sound of the style of music you have on that page, I think your biggest challenge is the actual mixing. You are not just doing straight drums-piano-bass-guitar with a cherry singer on top. The stuff you are trying to mix (and you've done a nice job already) is perhaps far more challenging to mix than you realize. The analogy would be you tell the instructor you want to take flying lessons, then you start walking toward the Lear Jet first instead of the Cessna.
You already have a great start, but I didn't hear any problems in your tunes that cant be "fixed in the mix".....maybe a re-record here and there, but I'm not convinced having more expensive gear will give you more than just a subtle improvement. However, some people (myself included) believe subtle improvements are the name of the game in music production, so if it's worth it to your ears, then it's worth it.......period!
You certainly have the talent to justify it!
then i saw one of these for sale locally..anyone got any views on it??
