I had an OLD 3630, got it early 90's (used $50), we used to record funk, fusion jams with a mackie vlz --> stereo outs -->3630--->cool edit , for fun, it actually was decent. I couldn't figure out why so disliked on here. Anyway, its long gone. So last year my friend, a drummer, recording for fun got a "New" one. The new 3630 is definitely not the same, and not in a good way. He's got a Mackie 1642, Beta52, 57's, my old e100's, e200's, it's just not the same unit they made then, not that it ever was "pro level", but the old ones were decent for the money and the new ones (In my opinion, fwiw) I would avoid them or return it. Good luck whatever ya get!
edit: since this post, I ran into the guy I got the old 3630 from and he said he "modded" it.
