Advantages: easy to install and understand, very cheap, good features very small and portable Disadvantages: No headphone jack, space slightly cramped with buttons, requires seperate sound card for cueing
sound from the speakers.
although the unit itself has a built in bpm counter and will auto mix to the best of its ability its not great and it is not a good idea to rely on this feature, you will obviously need to learn to match the beats yourself otherwise your just playing songs and not djing.
matching the beats presents a slight problem, theres no headphone jack.. meaning you cannot preview or cue up your next record so you have no way of knowing its on time for sure. therefore its recommended you invest in a "musepocketLt" This is very small and portable external usb sound card allowing you to playback through speakers and preview the next track .

Advantages: Some great tracks, Disadvantages: Not a huge progression
When Muse came onto the scene with their debut album they were dismissed by some as a Radiohead clone.

The album opens with an intro of marching before erupting into the striking piano riff of ?Apocalypse Please?. The song moves through epic strides of sound from all angles as well as having a harmonious ...
Advantages: Varied, Different, Special Disadvantages: Not consistant
It?s been a long time coming. 3 years since Black Holes and Revelations Muse have returned with The Resistance and with a weight of expectation that would crush lesser bands the Devon dwelling trio have found new strength, a new sound and new ways to rock your socks.
From the outset with first single Uprising, the tone is set. The lyrics are heaving with paranoia and the crowd-pleasing, pounding beats set us up for a wild ride. Resistance tugs the heartstrings with Matt Bellamy declaring ?Love is our Resistance? to the frantic drums of Dom Howard. As if it wasn?t clear enough from the opening track, Muse are back.
Undisclosed Desires is the first sign of experimentation. The band sounds comfortable in the clearly unfamiliar territory of a song described cheekily as the ?anti muse song?. It?s not as good as the previous two songs and is ...
