The biggest problems with your mixes isn't your gear, it's you. You are a little harder to deal with because you can't just make a trip to GC to get another you, but rest assured, you can make quality recordings with your gear in your space. You just need to take the time and effort to do it. While you learn, fix what you can with your gear. If you are a beginner, a Neuman and a fancy pre will just let you make crappy recordings with great gear, and you won't have beer money. Use the gear you have and record and mix everything you can.
Oh, and those "solo" buttons? Forget they exist. 8P
Oh (part deux), the most popular monitors ever made, were "hifi" speakers and pretty much totally inaccurate, and sounded like complete crap.
