Comping mismatched takes...Lord help me!

I feel like a total dork. I was recording lead vocals for my latest soon-to-be-rejected-smash-hit. I always do multiple takes and later comp them because I'm terribly self-conscious about my own voice.

Anyway, in my foolishness I must have moved the microphone and kept on recording. So the first few takes are a neutral sound and the last few takes are trebly.

Alesis iO2 Interface and ART Tube Preamp - Do i still need a better soundcard?

I read a great reply to a different post about upgrading to an external soundcard and I wondered if this would apply to me also if I am only recording vocals over instrumental tracks and my signal chain is mic>preamp>interface>PC USB input. The songs will be mixed by the producer, I'm only adding my vocals. I record with Cubase LE.

Thanks for any advice.
