No problem to design something rough and run mass production of prototypes with lot of plans to upgrade such a garbage very often; it is done all the way nowadays, but do you mean such a business? |
Hi Anatoliy
Well... as I said in my message above (sorry it is so long winded).... I have done management for other projects before so I understand the process of prototyping to full production runs and budgeting to recoup design and development costs.
I guess I am saying that I am not a spring chicken here and I know what I am in for. I know where many of the traps are in small business start up and I am not expecting to make a million dollars. I do believe there are opportunities in the industry right now to make limited production runs of high quality boutique gear that can be profitable. I doubt it would be
highly profitable but I do think there is a way to supplement a studio income. Hell this is exactly what Wade is doing with Chandler Limited and Tim is doing with Seventh Circle Audio right?
