New webpage...feedback needed!

[SynthLine09]

So I have a new website geared towards classical musicians at my school, hoping to record mostly recitals and auditions tapes. I enjoy recording, enjoy helping musicians (especially fellow students) and it is nice to have a small source of income every so often.

I was really hoping to get some feedback on the choir and cello recordings I have on there. what are you initial impressions?

The choir was done only with a pair of rode NT5's in ortf, while the Cello was done with the same and a Fathead II up close.


Any advice at all would be very helpful, I realize these are not the best but its a start!

Audio Recording

Not quite sure if you're asking for a review of the website or the audio, but from a web point of view...

Auto-playing audio is very annoying on websites. You'd be better off putting the player at the top of the page and allowing the user to press play and then scroll down the page while listening if that is what they choose.

Also, I'd rearrange the pictures, since the only 'classical' looking one is at the bottom. I'd go for blue mic, studio, then guitar amp (if at all).

Good luck!

Yes. Also, loose the guitar amp pic if you want classical clients. Move the gear list to another page. Your services and quality should take center stage along with a phone number.
