Numark CUE DJ Description
Numark's CUE DJ software allows you to mix, scratch, juggle, and sample music, as well as play more than a dozen audio and video file formats.

Flexibile audio I/O
Whether you use just your computer and headphones, a multichannel ASIO sound card, an external DJ mixer, a Numark USB mixer, or a combination of hardware, Cue has multiple configuration options ready and waiting for you to plug into. As simple or as detailed as you want it to be, Cue's flexible audio configuration is ready to fit in with your setup.

Rhythm window
See your music: with a visual waveform overlay of beats, you can have 100% mixing accuracy. Multiple zoom levels for beat matching precision and complete control.

Browse, search, sort
Navigate your music collection quickly and intuitively. Remember the title but not the artist? Search! Type in a keyword and you're taken immediately to your results. Sort by title, artist, BPM, and more. Add songs to the Playlist for quick access and Automix capabilities.

Hardware compatibility
Introduce your computer to the Numark iCDX for ultimate hands-on control with 2 way display and extended control. Use your MIDI controller; assign any and all of Cue's controls like crossfader, gain, pitch adjust, samples, hot cues, and more to any standard MIDI controller.

Spice it up
Choose from a variety of built-in effects or create your own plug-in. Activate as many effects at once as you like. With fully adjustable effect parameters, you have the power to add just a hint of Flanger or a blast of Backspin.

Scratch it
Scratch and Pitch Bend directly with your mouse. Just click and drag the Control Dome to take charge of the decks. Choose between BPM or pitch % views by clicking on the dome.

Sample and loop it
Numark Cue Software enables you to create beat-matched samples and loops on the fly. Choose from preset samples or load your own. Beatlock your samples so they trigger and play on beat every time. Loop quickly and easily from 1/8th note to 16 bars, and with SmartLoop, you're automatically on beat.

Record and broadcast
Record your mix, burn it to a CD, and give it to your friends. Or go global with a click of the mouse Broadcast! Invite a worldwide audience to your performance by using Cue's built-in broadcast functionality.

Karaoke
With CDG support, you can easily have the crowd singing along.

Video
Mix and scratch your favorite video and audio files interchangeably with video transitions and effects. With Cue, every DJ is also a VJ. Project it on a wall, show it on your TV, or view it on a monitor. Make your set come alive with video!

Funny that I'm seeing this thread 3 years after it was posted! haha
Anyway, don't know if i'd vouch for such products, Brandon.
Have been passionately involved in DJing since over 7 years now, and have come to believe that nothing really beats playing live on manual (DJ) CD players or turntables. As stupid as it sounds, the whole process of pushing a CD in, moving to the track number, cuing it, sampling it while the other track's playing in the PA, etc cannot quite be emulated or should i say replicated using DJing softwares.
Have tried a few, only to be thoroughly disappointed.
Ideally, if funds would permit (since records are hard to find and rather expensive) i'd stick to Technics 1210 / 1200 turntables and keep my pioneer CDJs only as show pieces!
Anyway, would advise budding DJs to go with conventional equipment, at least for the next few years till these unconventional forms become conventional.
If one's looking for an alternative to carrying CDs or Records around, then the Final Scratch or the Serato would prove to be a good investment!
