To Cathe & SNM: Suggestions for music options

Just a humble suggestion from one of your avid fans, I wish that you would put the "music louder" option in future workouts. I think a lot Catheites would appreciate that feature. Moreover, I am hoping for a "music off" option too. Playing our own music for the strength training workouts would be great! Hope it wouldn't be too much to ask for in the next series :)

Have a good day!
 
I wouldn't miss a "music louder" option, but I certainly want the workouts to have "music loud enough." I haven't gotten mine yet, but I've seen quite a few posts here and elsewhere from people who are very disappointed with the music volume. In the BB's, I always used the "music louder" option because the regular option wasn't loud enough, IMO.
 
I WAY agree. I thought you guys were miles above other video productions with your music and options from the last two series. I hoped maybe you'd set a new standard. It looks like instead you've slid closer to average. Maybe you didn't know how much it was appreciated. I'm sorry I didn't post my appreciation before. I personally would have been willing to wait longer for the options.

It is something we will cetainly consider for the future. Most of the feedback we received from the Body Blast series about music louder was neagative. Most people claimed that they could not hear the difference between Music Louder and Normal. I think the main problem is that most people misunderstood what music louder really is. We can only pump up the music just so far as the higher we take it the more Cathe's voice will sound distorted and muffled. This drives sound engineers nuts, but I can understand why some of you really like this option. Usually we only hear the negative, so always let us know things you also like.
 
SNM, I don't post very often, but I have to say I am completely stunned by your statement that "most of the feedback we received from the Body Blast series about music louder was negative." I have searched your forum archives and have not found one complaint about the music louder option (however, it's getting late, and I could be wrong). All of the comments I read were completely IN FAVOR of a music louder option and how much they enjoyed their workouts with this feature. I also don't remember reading any negative comments about this option over at VF (and people there are VERY VOCAL about voicing their opinions over there! ;-) ) I have never seen anyone post about not hearing a difference between Music Louder and Normal on either forum. I also have noticed several posts after the Hardcore Series was announced from people hoping that this option (along with a music off option) would be included.

When you posted the info about the Body Blast series you state:

Play (music louder) We think this is a DVD first and will be greatly appreciated by many. Perhaps one of the biggest complaints about fitness videos is that the music is nearly always too soft. This okay if you’re playing generic canned music, but when the music is good you really want to hear it. We think the Body Blast series contains some really good music and we want you to really be able to hear it – even on a cheap TV with only one speaker. With this selection we have changed the ratio of vocals to music in favor of the music. You will still be able to hear Cathe’s voice, but the music will be much louder.

Well SNM, I really did appreciate this feature in the Body Blast series because in my workout room I actually do have a cheap TV with only one speaker. ;-) I absolutely noticed a difference with the music louder option. I'm really surprised that so many customers emailed you to tell you that they couldn't tell the difference.

I have been an SNM customer since 1990 (my first workout video ever was the original Step N Motion 1) and Cathe is my absolute favorite instructor. Your products really are the best and I do hope that in the future if it's feasible that you please put a music louder option in your future DVDs.

Thanks! :)
 
I also really liked the Music Louder option in the BB series and always use it. As a matter of fact, I found the music in Super Sets and Push/Pull too low without the Music Louder option. The other workouts were fine on normal, but I pumped it up for cardio to make it more fun.
 
Count my vote for music louder !! For me, the music is what gets me going. PLEASE give us back the music louder option !
Thanks
 
I love the music louder option too. I don't have much use for the vocals only option, but I see why others might like it. Please keep the music louder option!
 
I am also one who appreciated the "music louder" option.

It is a shame it wasn't included with the Hardcores- it would have fixed everyone's sound issues. :-(


On a personal note to Cathe, thank you for your hard work on this series. I know I will enjoy all the workouts!
