Sergio Sanmiguel Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Either my computer is too old or your site is too heavy. Waited for over a minute & nothing happened... Quote
GrahamTimmer Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 same. no website came up and my browser said it was done loading. Quote
Sonny Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 OK, first some love. I like the site. The Flash is very cool. Overall, the site looks good and makes good use of white space. The navigation is (for the most part) easy to use, although it's a bit odd that the "back" button changes position on your "Hardware" page. That being said, I also had to wait forever for it to load...and I know it's not my computer or connection. If I hadn't been reading another article while waiting for it to load, I would have given up on it and assumed it was broken. It's just too heavy on the graphics. The line trailing the pointer is unnecessary and a little distracting. Same thing with the blurring segments on your picture. I like the video testimonial, both the idea and the execution. The hardware page was a neat idea, but I think you could add some descriptions of the gear. After all, I (and likely everyone else on this forum) recognized everything in your bag immediately; but just pointing to each piece isn't likely to help your average non-soundie (which I'm guessing is your target audience) much. Bottom line, it's a great site, but no one will ever know that if they can't get it to load quickly. I'd cut back on the motion graphics to make it load quicker or offer up an option to go to a non-flash version. Just my 2 cents...Hope it helps. -Sonny Quote
RPSharman Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 It ran fine on my computer, although took a few seconds to get started. But I would suggest a more universal approach, since others here have commented on the site being too slow to load. There is nothing worse than going to a website and having to wait for it. Most people will give up. My favorite thing? I LOVED the pointing finger in the hardware section. Very funny. Quote
Audio Daddyo Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 I don't know if you guys caught this but if you click on any of the gear on the hardware page it brings up another picture with a word description. Andy Quote
Sonny Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 I stand corrected on my criticism of the hardware section! Good catch, Andy! Quote
Jim Gilchrist Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 It took a while to load, but graphically very nice. I like your photo a lot. Best regards, Jim Quote
old school Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Aside from the slow load, it is a nice site. Thanks for posting it here @jwsound. CrewC Quote
Bondelev Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Would not load at all on my MacBook in either Safari or Firefox, although currently on a slow hotel connection. Quote
Bondelev Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Oh, wow, just realized it DID load, but I have to click on a TINY icon to start it! Quote
Kevin Sorensen Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 hi all some may have seen it via the Ramps group but some may not cheers martijn Hi Martijn Don't have time to wait for your site to appear......But, What ever you do, please don't use the word "soundy" or "soundies" ( even worse ) as collective name for production sound folks. "scripty" for script supervisor.......also a Major mistake ! "crafty" for craft service ? PLEASE ! ............ Never say or type these words. Thanks. KKS Quote
RPSharman Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 "Transpo" prefers transportation. "Wardrobe" prefers costumes. Camera doesn't like "camera weenies". How did we all become so sensitive? Quote
Philip Perkins Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 How about "soundarino"? Philip Perkins Quote
John Blankenship Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 How about "soundarino"? Only if you're Italian. JB Quote
Matt McGowin Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Thats pretty good. Now quit clowning around! HAha. I sometimes think to myself "will somebody put up a tent around this 3 ring circus" so yeah I can see how that handle works. Haha that website is kinda trippy(tracer mousepointer) I like the finger pointing with the pictures popping out however I would like to see a little bubble description of what the item is for the folks that aint knowing. ( I know what it is)It did take a minute or so to load, but I dont mind.BTW What did Brechttje say? Quote
Philip Perkins Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Sorry, I AM a "postie" and I'm sticking with it. For production sound, I respond to almost anything that resembles "sound" or "audio". Philip Perkins Quote
Jim Gilchrist Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Pretty much anything that's preceded by "Mister" or followed by "Darling" works for me. Both is best, "Mr. A--hole, darling" for example. Best regards, Jim Quote
Eric Toline Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Sorry, I AM a "postie" and I'm sticking with it. For production sound, I respond to almost anything that resembles "sound" or "audio". Philip Perkins Postie sounds like a cereal. If you get sunburned are you then a toastie postie? Eric Quote

Philip Perkins Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 I am sorry also, I didn't know you lacked a sense humor. KKS I do have a "sense humor", that was a joke. Do you have a "sense humor" too? Philip Perkins Quote
