@Mr Latte Thanks for your offer to grant access to the old chat. I accept. 😊
Regarding my involvement in current and future developments, here’s a piece that you may be missing. I’ve noted that several people, in the past, and in this thread, just go and do their own thing with your effects, with whatever hardware, without regard to your passion and expertise in this particular field, nor have they, according to your recollection, expressed gratitude.
I’m sold on the concept/vision, and on your method for achieving the ultimate expression of RaceBass. I have no interest in changing your hardware recommendations, and I have ZERO interest in developing my own effects, nor for you to change the way you develop effects in the least. I have a family (wife and four kids), own a restaurant, and I simply don’t have the time for or interest in developing this from scratch, when there’s already somebody who is years and years ahead in the development of a system that is probably more detailed than I could conceive of or even have the drive to imagine. That’s your world. However, because I believe in what you’re trying to achieve, I see an opportunity to expand that functionality to a much larger audience, including myself, by adapting it to what I presume to be the best-selling sim-racing cockpit form factor…Just have a look back at how many people in this thread have been seeking this experience for their foldable/stowable racing seat.
For clarity’s sake, here’s what I’m proposing: You do what you do - develop those beautiful and amazing, layered multichannel effects that I’ve been reading about, but have yet to experience, for the hardware and seat type that you deem the most appropriate - the thing that you have been and would be doing, regardless of the existence of me or my aspirations. I’ll replicate the base requirements of that setup as a reference, offering (hopefully valuable) feedback; and on the side I’ll attempt to use that reference to develop a solution for my Playseat Challenge, which would simply seek to replicate the tactile experience for which RaceBass aims, all while requiring zero extracurricular input or involvement from you.
Hell, the fact that I’m being so transparent about my goals is, I should hope, an indication of my sincerity. I could’ve just said, “Okay, I’ll get an office chair.” I really don’t know how to express my ambitions or sincerity any more clearly, and my hope is that you will strongly consider allowing me to be involved with future development. If not, I’ll gracefully embrace defeat and accept the access to the old effects, and I’ll move along (a little drama right there at the end for the reader’s entertainment 😁). Thanks for your consideration.
PS Jeez, I don’t know if I’ve ever worked so hard to be a part of something. I feel like I’m pulling out all the stops in applying for a job that I desperately want, haha.
