Okay, so... where to begin. This is a costly thing, so people understandably want information about it. Unfortunately, the trailer and and description don't give much, or confusing information. In addition, there other other stores/sites out there that give incorrect information about the product.

Pros: There are 80 individual sound effects you can customize. In addition, there are 100 sequential songs that you can customize. LOTS of options and freedoms on what to do with this.

Cons: The included speaker is.... not great. Lots of static sound. That said, if you plug into your own sound system all sounds good. Another issue was importing your own sound files. You HAVE to make sure they are named correctly or they won't work properly.

All in all, this is a product I will use in most, if not all performances. But it comes with some difficulties that must be overcome.

I will absolutely be using this, and I have already loaded it up with sound effects for my stage show.

That being said, this is unusable as a close up effect as the sound quality of the inbuilt speakers is appalling; it's muffled and full of static. However, once plugged into a sound system (even a portable karaoke speaker will do the job) the sound quality is top notch and crystal clear.

The other issue to consider is that the sound bank only holds up to 8 tracks per page. There are more pages than I'll ever use but switching between pages is generally loud and obvious unless you program in a more quiet sound effect to indicate which page you are on. This is not a deal breaker, but it is something to consider if your show uses more than 8 sounds.

For the sake of clarity, my show has the following sounds:

1. Welcome introduction with music and voice over
2. Applause sound effect
3. Background music for the show
4. Voice over cues
5. Voice over cues
6. Voice over cues
7. Voice over cues
8. Outro music and voice over

The best feature of this product is that I do not need to depend upon a sound technique who doesn't know my show and I still have complete control of the show whilst onstage in possibly, an unknown location. The system is worlds cheaper than similar products and the quality is outstanding once plugged into another system. With these features in mind, I would strongly recommend this to performers on the more 'thrifty' end.
