Plug-and-play operation with no drivers required.

iCUE Features
iCUE works with all of your MP3s and other music. It's just like working with vinyl records or CDs, except you just drag tracks from your library to the left and right decks on the screen to play them. Then you can cue them up, mix between them with the DJ crossfader, scratch, EQ, and even do more advanced DJ effects like sampling and looping.

Paired with CUE LE software, the iCUE controller becomes a complete computer DJ system with everything you need. Dual-deck design provides a natural DJ platform, a DJ crossfader lets you mix between tracks, built-in sampling and looping functions give you more creative options, and you can dial it all in with EQ (bass, mid and treble) controls.

iCUE is easy to use and is the perfect way to learn how to DJ even if you're never done it before. You can even record your performances to listen later. iCUE gives you everything you need to DJ with your computer.

Simple Setup
The iCUE controller features plug-and-play operation--a single USB cable is all you need to hook it up. No driver installation, and power is supplied by the USB bus.

I JUST HAD TROUBLE WITH THE SOFTWEAR KEY CALLED ION AND THEY HAVE REALLY GOOD TECH SUPPORT AND GOT THAT OUT OF THE AWAY PRETTY QUICK. IT WAS REALLY EASY TO SET UP AND START PLAYING. THE CONTROLS ARE EASY TO OPERATE AND MIX MUSIC IN TWO DAYS I WAS ABLE TO PLAY MY FRIENDS GRADUATION PARTY AND EVERYONE WAS ASKING ME HOW LONG I HAD BEEN A DJ. I HAVE NEVER DJ IN MY LIFE!!!!! I WAS NOT " DJ AM " BUT HELD MY OWN. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY HUGE ITUNES SONGS AND JUST DRAGGED AND MIXED. I REALLY LIKED THE BPM FEATURES AND TIME SIGNATURE CLOCKS YOU CAN RUN IT FWRD AND REVERSE. IT REALLY HELPS IF YOU KNOW ABOUT MUSIC AND TIMING TO MATCH UP SONGS. IT DOES EVERYTHING THE GUY SAID ON THE AMAZON QUICK INTRO VIDEO!!! VERY COOL T-T-T-T-T-O-O-O-O-O-O-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!!!!

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.

Missing head phone input.

Review Date: May 15, 2008

Reviewer: Jarr2nice, Buffalo, NY

Pros: It is compact.You physically get to cue and play the music using the buttons on the mixer after using the mouse to add the music to your deck.
Cons: No head phone input. I followed a suggestion from a reviewer(below) and bought the 3.5mm splitter which allowed me to hear the music in the headphone, however when I pressed the PLE button to cue the music it also played it in the main speakers aswell. This is not good!!So I called Ion about it.CSR recommended a numark sound card that would cost $100. I don't think so. I serched online and bought a 5.1 USB sound card for like $20. At first, it wasn't working then after a day or two i figured it out (make sure to chage the configuration by clicking config in the upper right corner on the mixing deck on your pc). Now I am mixing with no problems. I agree with the person below. The sound card should have been included with the mixer. Who wants to buy a mixer then go and buy a sound card. Well at least I didn't spend $100 on the the sound card the CSR recommened.
