I can see why you're unhappy. Maybe that Mic/pre combo just doesn't sound good on you.
Watch your gain staging. It sounds like you're recording much hotter than your outboard analog was built to handle.
It sounds like you're eating the mic, AND it sounds telephoney at the same time. A hard combination to get!
Your room is also part of the equation.
Bring down your levels, and don't get into the bad habit of normalizing that seems to be so prevalent among amateur hip-hop engineers.
Try another mic, try different distances from the mic, try setting the 610 differently. It's easy to get a good sound out of it, but it's unfortunately also fairly easy to make it sound grainy and distorted. That's why so many people here hate it.
