New Plugin Review Site www.audiopimpz.com

 

a clickable link, may help your cause, also putting a full screenshot if the plugin being reviewed on the review page, would be a good idea.

 

Cheers yep working on that..

 

Quite good idea, though.
Is that meant for independent platforms?
You know there's so much different Plug-Ins for different systems...
What i actually don't like is the grey design of the site.
Maybe a nice dark blue theme with a cool logo and font would push it up.
Then i would add different sections. But it's all in development, i
understand.

Just my opinion!

 

Found a small bug:

Using "Camino" browser the subtitle "Audio Software Reviews" at the end of the page looks different! Too bold.
With Firefox and Safari it looks the same.

 

Thanks

 

Why can't I comment or review a plugin that as already a review? There should be some button or is there only one review per plugin? It's complicated and not straightforward. Also I don't like that Redline Monitor has a lower rating than EZmix. EZmix is an awful plugin for amateurs, I can do a better mix just with native FL Studio plugins, which are not good too in terms of warm analog sound.

 

yes you can vote and review any plugin, The score will then be averaged out.
Just click the add review and in the product area type EZmix or Redline Monitor, it will go to the right plugin in the database

 

Great Site

 

Yay, the design looks clean, but the navigation is hard. It's not good to let users type plugin's name when they're on plugin's page. There should be some button Add Review under plugin's screenshot and it should be possible to add a review without writing it's name. Someone could mispell the plugin name and then you would have a duplicates. I'm 24 and develope since 11 (MS-DOS,Java,C++,C#,PHP,Javascript,Flash) and this thing with reviewing is quite difficult from user point of view.

 

I fully agree. Maybe in RED TEXT so it stands out.

 

It's hard for me to take a site seriously with a name like that. Also, you claim to be 'the webs first dedicated audio software user review site.' Have you not heard of www.kvraudio.com?

 

Have to agree, probably the worst thing for me is the name.. seems.. umm... childish?

Maybe Pluginreview.com or plughead.com...or.. something

..the pimpz thing is more likely to be mocked, than liked.

Yay... post 200 :dancing:

 

A good free VST plugins with review and tips & tricks can be found here: http://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/vst-effects/ ...you can add those plugins on your site plus there are really good tips on how to use them...I'd like to have those tips on every plugin page...For Redline Monitor it would be: use 0.2 distance and 30 or 90 degreee for speaker's angle.

 

Great idea! on Tips and Tricks

 

The discussion over the right domain name to use for a review site was long and heavy involving subjects such as SocioDynamics and Phonesthemes. We took on the idea of having a descriptive domain name for SEO purposes but a good site name has to be both easy to say or subvocalise, be slightly provocative or humorous (You remember rude jokes better than clean ones etc...). So people may not like the name AudioPimpz but it was chosen because they would remember it and generalised enough to leave scope for future expansion of the site. For instance AudioSex is another example and sometimes the best domain names have nothing to do with the content at all. In truth we had no idea that there was an AudioSex.pro site until after we'd chosen our domain and the name was actually one of the ones we discussed using. However we wanted something not quite so strong on the provocative side of things and that also hinted at an association with altering and improving sound in a modern way (Pimp My Ride etc...).


KVR has a different paradigm to audiopimpz and we are in no way trying to compete with that great site, or forums like this. Rather Audiopimpz' focus is just on user reviews and nothing more.

Thanks for your feedback guys, we have taken it all on board and are hoping for a major update this week with many improvements making the site more intuitive and easier to use. Thanks www.audiopimpz.com team

 

Great idea. Will def. be a contributor.
