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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing head phone input., May 14, 2008

This review is from: ION Audio iCUE MP3 Computer Music Mixing Station with Software (Electronics)

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.

this product does most of what i need it to do. my only complaints are that the jog wheels are a little sensitive and there is no headphone jack on the board itself. if you want to mix, you have to get a 3.5mm y splitter to split the audio output of your sound card.i think this should have been included as that is what you bought it for in the first place. the splitter does not cost much but its annoying to recieve something only to find out that you need something else to make it work properly! for $140, the unit feels kind of flimsy.
other than that, recording is easy and you cand adjust sound levels and pitch speed that you can save as a wma file with the adjustments you made.

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.
