Gear Recommender doesnt work

I went to use the "Gear Recommender", but it doesn't work at all. Every time I tried it came up "Uh-oh! We're unable to come up with recommendations for Studio Monitors based on the 2 artists you chose. Try a different gear category, choose more artists, or help us fill out more artist Equipboards.*"

I don't know about the actual gear recommender code, but studio monitors are more space specific than artist specific.... is your room treated? Is it large? Is it boxy or rectangular? Are the ceilings high? Is it carpeted? Price range?

my suspicion on the gear recommender is that perhaps the artists you put in haven't been spotted with a specific set of speakers by the community, but I may be way off there.... @michael ?!

as far as a recommendation ic an give you one if you answer some of my questions.

Hi JH,

That may be because we don't have any information on which monitors the 2 artists you selected use. Which two artists did you choose?

And Jim knows his stuff. I'm sure his recommendations would be very helpful for your setup.

Exactly, I put “Studio Monitors” on Gear Recommendation. Suggestion: when people select “Studio Monitors” in Gear Recommendation, a message could appear “The studio monitor you need depends a lot on the treatment of your room” or something like that

Russ, John Mayer and Snoop Dogg

Dont worry, I was just testing the tool. It is very useful for people who know little about equipment

I like that.... and we could also put a second sentence "stop mixing on headphones!"
