I have recently started using the practice assistant which I think is amazing. I may not be using the functionality correctly, or have mistepped in creation, but I am having issues.
My goal is to be able to record everything I do, and see how I am getting better, which from the video is what the PA is for. Outline below are the problems I seem to be having.
I have a Daily Routine, which is scales and strumming. I have a Guitar Technicals routine, a level 1 and level 2 songs routine.
If I have daily routine active, and I go to practice and click on the major scale pattern, I donāt use the metronome online, as I am using the JG time trainer. I click on my notes, add them in and then click āmark as donāe log full scheduled timeā such as below.
From my understanding, we have to hit āreset routineā if we want to practice the item more than once, is that correct? I think it might be nice to have a button that is just ālog againā or something like that which would allow us to add multiple sessions of the same thing on the same day.
My next issue seems to be with something I have missed inputting during the creation of the item.
Thatās me for now, would love some assistance on what I need to get this running, as I now have a routine, and setup organization, just want to practice and record progress.
Hi Bret @bkennedy74, regarding your last question, the āundefinedā thing: itās a bug which has been flagged before. It is supposed to (and used to) show the label of the corresponding practice item. When you have more than 1 item, you will see them all represented in the graph, in different colours, and they should each have their label. As it is, the label thing doesnāt work at the moment, but you can of course still figure it out by matching the colour of the line in the graph with the colour of the different items listed above the graph.
Once you click on āDone, log full timeā, you should have an option to click on either Repeat Item, or Go To Next Item. I think Resetting Routine just brings you back to the top and doesnāt show any items as completed. If you donāt reset though you can have as many repeats of one or more items as you wish (ie you donāt have to practice each item the same number of times).
Thanks for all the replies, ran into another issue today.
I added in some new items, added them to the level 1 songs routine as usual.
After I did one of the songs today, well the first one actually, the statistic value, which is usually at the end of the logging process didnāt come up, and when I go to the stats window, it doesnāt show.
A few screenshots below.
It is also coming up āyou havenāt added a description for this itemā when there was one. Is there a bug somewhere?
@Richard_close2u and other mods, are there possibilities of having tweaks / additions made to the practice routine feature on the website? I feel like it is 90% perfect, but there are few things that I wanted to ask about
the first is, when you do something multiple times, like once every day, it doesnāt seem that the notes are kept, it seems like you just update or change the previous notes, a record of previous notes to go back to would be awesome.
That is the first, there are one or two others, but will ask the question first.
@FannyJustinGuitar No worries. I am going to make another test today, in relation to using more than 1 routine a day, ie: I have piano as well as 4 JS routines, and when I have practiced and logged the items, the count doesnāt seem correct.
I will say that I am manually logging, and not using the countdown timer on the web app,but Iāll make a post later with more detailed findings.
Something else I noticed, the statistics for items, they will only ever a number statistic, which is fine, however some statistics are a little different.
ie: 1 min changes is a ātotal countā
scale practice is ābeats per minā as you get better that increases.
However if I wanted to record āaural or ear trainingā or maybe the songs I am working on, there isnāt really a statistic that would work, I mean I guess you could put in your description 'statistic is a score out of 10 for how well you think you didā¦
AS I am adding in other modalities, ie: PIano and Singing practice, a statistic for ālip roll slidesā would not have a statistic lol, just at time frame
I guess writing this as long as i can record the work done, and have a list of notes that shows progressions, some of those statistics are not necessary, but would be good to have them show on the graph, so I guess I will create a 1-10 scale for those things so they show up.
I am still having a lot of issues with the practice routines. I just did 2 hours of practice, logging in on 3 different routines, and none of them have come up.
I think there needs to be a bit of an update that allows you to go through multiple routines and log them as you normally would, and have them update, even if you donāt finish that routine, which is what I am seeing is not happening now.
