There have been some strange sightings of design changes today. We read your complaints and questions on discord, here onsite and kinda everywhere we are in touch with you. And yes, the stories you heard are true.
We are working on some changes on the player design. This went accidentally live for a couple of hours today which was not intended since the design wasn’t completely finished and there were some bugs we still hadn’t fixed yet.
To get you up to speed: We started with a complete overhaul of the website which is a major task and Martin is doing one hell of a job. The aim of the redesign is to increase usability and get the overall appearance of Audiotool more up to date and more user-friendly. The news board was one of the first things we changed. While working on this we noticed that we work faster and get better results when we do it in short iterations (surprise!) so we will add new stuff every now and then.
Sorry for the confusion we may have caused with this player incident today but trust us – the redesign will be really nice.
If you have any suggestions what you want to change or add to the website or you have any features that you are missing (not regarding the studio this time) – let us know here, on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter (and the inofficial Discord)! Your feedback is really precious to us <3.
And good news is: this is not the only thing we are working on. You can read about Known as I's progress on the new audio engine
here
(yes, you heard that one right!).
We will keep you posted!
Thanks for your patience, your ongoing support and awesome music!
2.) Some people might have missed parts of earlier discussions, hence, I'd like to prevent misunderstandings:
Yes, we are working on a overall relaunch and some added functionality for the website. No, we did not say what the ETA is :-)
But you'll see little changes here and there then and now!
3.) It's also correct that work on a new Audio engine is being done (and we've been working on that for quite some time now and already covered a lot). However, as you probably assumed, this is a big piece of software and we do not have an ETA either.
4.) We've had some issues (basically: studio not opening) over the last days and also on the weekend. We are super sorry for any inconvenience causes by that.
Strangely, things seem to work for some users and the don't for others. Of course, we do our best to resolve those matters asap, but I am afraid that might not be resolved on the weekend.
I swear next person to say "the studio isn't working" imma come shit on your doorstep and then i'm gonna set my shit on fire get a poopa scoopa knock on your door and sling my flaming shit into your face :)
