How good is this mixer?

Knowing very little about DJing, I went out about a year and a half ago and purchased two Numark Axis 8 tables and a Stanton RM-3s mixer. I have enjoyed bedroom DJing up to this point, and now I feel like it's time to take the next step and go to vinyl. I am buying a pair of Technics 1200s and I was thinking about keeping my mixer for now. I don't know a ton about it, and I was wondering if someone could help me out and give me a rundown on how the Stanton RM-3s ranks among other mixers. If it's adequate, I will probably keep it, unless I hear a bunch of negative comments from the TA faithful.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide me!

It is decent. I do not own one, but a friend of mine does and I have used it alot. I would say that you could probably find a similer mixer for less money, but it is OK. If you did not have it yet I would say maybe finding a different one, just because this one is kind of average for the price. But you have it already I would say that if it is still holding up, keep it. I think it has both line and phono inputs for each channal so that you can have your CD decks and 1200s all hooked up at the same time and mix from one to the other. So I say stick whith it for now unless you have a better reason to upgrade.

the rm3s is very decent intermediate mixer for the price and it has just about everything on it that a mixer would have if you played out (if that makes sense)its not too fancy but it's definitly not a beginner mixer either. i'd say keep the mixer and spend the money you save for some new vinyl cuz mixing can get pretty boring if you don't have a decent selection of vinyl

also it has 3 inputs per channel so it works good for running your tts and cddj...on my setup i have 3 TTs and 2 cddj and i have never has a problem with the mixer

Use the mixer you have, dont go out spending cash on a new mixer when you already have one. Use the money you would spend on a new mixer and buy vinyls after you get your turntables. DJ's dont become broke from buying equipment, they become broke from buying vinyl, keep that in mind.
