Jeffrey...here's some friendly ....whatever you want to call it :-). I've been given advise to try various products like looperlative for my clients. We've researched and found the product lacking in several aspects that are requirements for the high end applications/perceived needs of these people. That's what I meant by 'ultimate' in the first place. Something that meets the needs of high end users as I'm hearing them at this time. But also something that incorporates several things I haven't seen in a product to date that would I believe have some mass appeal which I'm not going to discuss at this time because I'm *not* a lawyer or independently wealthy person and if I pour my life into this I hope to at least make enough to live on from the project. I don't have aid from anyone which allows me to be a hobbyist. So if I make a product I'm going to aim at making it something that will be substantially better than the competition because that's the only way to make it worthwhile. If I feel in my research that I can't provide that then I'll back off the project of course. BUT THIS IS HOW GREAT THINGS COME TO BE...so please. I'm just inquiring. No harm in that. The volume and individual outs issues were just initial ones presented to me as needs by Todd Green and another client and are commong knowledge so I feel free to discuss those. IN ANOTHER POST RECENTLY I MENTIONED PITCH CONTROLLING. Anyway I dont' find anything friendly about your post. I'm not saying looperlative isn't 'professional level'. I'm saying that a couple of the clients I am dealing with are crying out for some other things and that *in* the professional market are people who would find great advantage in having individual outs etc. PLEASE...try emailing me instead of making a public spectacle like this before you are sure of what you are talking about with me. I in NO way meant looperlative isn't a pro product. It has impressive specs but lacks some things a couple people have been talking to me about getting on a product. -Bob Jeffrey Larson wrote: > Ok, here's some friendly advice. > > Be careful tossing out words like "ultimate looper" on this list.
