MusicTrainer :: Forum

I got confused for a sec until I decided to click it and try that method before requesting password reset. Make sure it's optional. Not mandatory. Per the site. Great idea. I found the instructions, at least the two that I watched, much better than couple of other places I've checked before. Here are my suggestions; you might already have them on the drawing board but here they are regardless. 1. Top banner ad. I'm not sure how you're planning of monetizing musictrainer, but the ad was kind of distracting me while trying to watch a video. 2. Try to edit the umphs and ahhs out. Few are okay. 3. If the current license of JW Player offers automatic pauses, try to implement whenever an instructor mentions practice time. I would like to have the player pause automatically while I try to practice and click continue manually when ready with the next part of the lesson. 4. Add instructor name and link to his/her profile under each video. 5. Add video time under each video. I know I can hover on the video and see the timer, but for convenience sake, it would be a good idea. 6. Add a metronome next to the videos vs having to visit metronomeonline.com. Again, more convenient. Most people have one monitor. I have two, so it makes it easy for me to throw each site in one monitor. 7. Square and rectangles are not doing it for me. Add graphical icons especially for next lesson, previous lesson, index, etc. 8. Red/orange background coloring might not be the best option. I want my eyes to focus on the videos and not naturally work their way to the background. Red/orange are natural eye grabbers, if you know what I mean. One reason why food franchises use them most, ie McDonalds, Carls Jr, Burger King, etc. Also entices hunger. 9. You might want to use wistia http://wistia.com/ player. It has built in analytics, would be very beneficial in regards to editing, timeframe, locating pauses (for practice purposes), etc. 10. Good luck. edited by monocat on 2/26/2010
