Killing the Clicks
Its amazing to me how software makers make a product but dont use it. Ok maybe they used parts of it. But over and over and over again there are these little instances that pop up and kill an experience for someone due to a simple tiny aspect of the experience.
My 2000 pc, my main drag of a pc at work is a slow and clunky dell. I wish it would die forever so that i could get a new piece of gear. One thing that totally drives me crazy on the box is how in internet explorer I cant ever seem to find the thing that turns off the CLICKS it makes when you click on links etc. And since my audio is usually jacked up because the avid box for some reason doesnt use the power speakers, i dont know that one either, but just plays a default level regardless and i usually have to crank it up to hear when i switch back to the 2000 box and click on something i get the big CLICK!
So first I think, tools advanced features etc... nothing jumps out at me. Nothing says what I expect it to say. I try help and yeah i try like 12 different variations on how to explain what i want off. Sound clicks, clicks via mouse, whatever, just the fact that CLICKS isnt in the help file when myself and six other people here at work all go "search clicks" and it doesnt come up is hilarious to me. Why wouldnt the makers of this app think about how people use it and actually understand why people would want to search for "clicks" and my god the help thats out there is so fubared or needs special you need to register for the help knowledge base yadda dadda... google is faster than that.
Totally hilarious.
Well now ive turned off many things and the sound is gone! Excellent. I need this PC to die soon! I cant wait. Ok back to editing.
