Re: Let's play a game- it's called Imagine The Perfect Looper

Yeah, I've been a bit naive.

Trying to sound all crazy daisy with my grand master plans.

I'm a Junior and I'm trying to do this as a project, but ideally take it to the point of manufacturing and selling.  In order to do this, I'm going to have to slave over something like C++ or .NET for months .... I have thought upon posting the thread of its tone, especially in its opening invitation "Let's play a game- ".  The promise of its availability by Spring 2009 is a gross underestimation.  When I posted this originally, I hadn't even considered the fact that I need a manufacturer.  So basically, before anything else I'd like to apologize.  I so appreciate everyone's help, advice, perspective, and kindness.

I love this place.

The OP acknowledged that he has the desire but not the knowledge to build a looping device and asks the group to contribute ideas, suggestions and advice.
The group, as always, steps up and gently introduces basic concepts, the history of similar projects, and a crash course in economics for the naive.  Two or more people with firsthand looper development and engineering experience offer perspective.  Several references to similar threads in the LD searchable archives which have largely covered this same ground are posted - again, without any of the attitude which often accompanies this information in other internet forums.

I can only say that this group is really remarkable, and I'm proud to participate, even if it's only cheerleading and occasionally making some recommendations myself.
