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.

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.

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.

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?
