Identical to Virtual DJ only much more stable. The special effects are cool and so are some of the features like autoplay, beatmatching and sampling. I was up and running in FIVE MINUTES! The program is easy to navigate and operate. You don’t neessarily need an external controller, but if you do, get the Behringer BCD3000. By the way, I run a Dell Vostro 1.9 Ghz AMD Duo Core with Windows XP, 250GB hard drive & 2.7 gigs of RAM. Never had a problem (knock wood!) I also highly recommend using a high quality surge protector when plugging in your PC. The reviewer who gave this software a 1-star rating is obviously incompetent and not an experienced DJ. YOU NEED 2 SOUNDCARDS! One soundcard allows you to preview (cue) tracks while the other soundcard acts as your master output. Buy the Soundblaster Xfi USB soundcard for $49 or better yet, a Logitech USB headphone adapter for $15. Thanks to Numark Cue 5, I am now able to significantly reduce the amount of DJ equipment I bring to a
I am having a party and need automatic dj software?
Does any software Dj Software exist that will do the work of a dj? Is it possible to start a playlist, and have a piece of software mix the music together as a DJ would?

Pros: Automatic beatmatching, most everything can be controlled from controller, software is easy to use, and very straightfoward, amazing price for what you get.
Cons: often times things like the knobs on the crossfader and pitch control can feel like cheap plastic, the advantage of having the ability to use all of your mp3s is nice but I have a non dj sound card in my computer so compared to turntables the sound quality of this thing sucks big time. As is mentioned in other reviews the jog wheels are very sensitive and may hamper some but improve the accuracy of your scratching if you try scratching on a nicer interface like a Numark Total Control (a superior version of this, Ion is just a cheapie brand for Numark, like Gibson Guitars and Epiphone). Another annoying thing I have noticed that I am wondering if this is just me, but after attempting to scratch on a playing song I notice a few second delay that ruins my attempts at scratching on a playing song, I tried this on vinyl and didn’t notice the problem
Overall: This is a great deal if it’s $130 but if it’s sold for the list price of $200 that’s a pretty big rip off.
If you can afford a better interface, especially if you can afford vinyyl, buy it, buy it, BUY IT!! do not penny pinch! this is great for the $100-$200 but is still not a good interface and I plan on switching to vinyl as soon as I have the cash, this is a nice fun interface, it just has many flaws. PS if you are not a fan of amazon head over to [...] they have roughly the same prices just service I trust more, though my icue did come a few day late I blame that on the holiday shipping rush.

This is one of the few items that actualy had a video demonistrating it’s usage, that’s what sold me. However, after purchasing it and testing it, the only issue i had was with the queing. I need to be able to preview and que up the next song (audibly), The ION allows you to que up the next song by MP3 title. So I returned it for a full refund.

First i rated the product at one star because i havent used it yet.Why? well when i was looking the product over it never mentioned that you had to buy the soundcard or the wires for it. it said virtual dj so i thought it would have a headphone jack… and i dont recall anything saying your computer had to have windows vista(trash) or xp im running windows 7.. i hope it gets better

It’s got very basic controls, but it does what it says. Of course you need to purchase a separate sound card, any USB or PCI sound card will do the trick, that’s where you plug in your headphones. A big plus is that it works with Virtual DJ.
