Hi,

I just got my 2 1200mk2's and Stanton RM-3s last week. I dont have any vinyl yet so I haven't really used them. However, I dont know if I am going to be satisfied with my mixer. I bought everything from Guitar center so they have a 30 day exchange policy. My question is..should I keep my mixer, which I paid $200 for. Or should I try to exchange for the RANE TTM52i. The rane mixer is listed at $279 there. But maybe I can get them to exchange it for the same price..thats what I'm hoping. I dunno..the Rane mixer only has two channels but it felt SOO much more solid compared to the Stanton I bought. What should I do? PS...My first vinyls should be comming in any day now. I bought 4 Strings- Take Me Away Into The Night (Vocal Club Mix, 4 Strings Remix, Original,Chill Out Mix)
__Rank 1- Awakening (Original, Benecio Remix)
__Sono- Blame (Extended Mix, Dub Mix, Humate Remix, Terry Lee Brown Jr Remix)
__Mirco De Govia- Epic Monolith (Original Mix, Kyau vs Albert Remix, Sonorous Epic Dub)
__Sonorous- Second Sun (Original, Mirco De Govia Remix)
__Future Breeze- Temple Of Dreams (Pedro Del Mar vs Dj Shak's UK Dub, Extended Ckub Mix, Dirt Devils Remix).

Got them for 6 bucks each brand new.
thanks

Rane DUH
Unless you are planning to get a Stanton VRM-10 in which case
GO FOR THE STANTON :)
But for any other mixer, take the Rane, You wont regret.

I would go for the Rane, much better quality in all departments!

hmm... well, i have an RM3S, but not for long. It's a nice design, and if it was built better, it would be a badass mixer... I dont like the crossfader (it's very loose and tends to bleed), and the feel of it (the whole unit) is fairly cheap/cheesy... but it really has been a great learner box!

I wouldnt want the 52i either - it doesnt even have 3 band EQ's... but if you dont care about EQ's, it's a good box. Rane stuff sounds great :D the 52i is a very basic, but good quality, mixer.
