With all this story, I didn't said my situation and why I came up with this topic too:

I've done on paper and did some research on material to build it, asked for opinion with a friend of mine which has a Music Store, concluded that yes, its possible to build such a thing and I came up with a different type of musical instrument.

It doesn't use strings, wind, percussion or any other "classical"(?) method of input for musical instruments. Its just a new way to play music. Its something a little futuristic and plays in the same stance as a guitar.

 

I'm not willing to give details on that because, I don't know, I might have something big on my hands... or maybe not. And Copycats are everywhere.

I have it locked on my desk, waiting for an opportunity to build it alongside with someone that I can trust and be my partner on this.


Is it like a theremin? (you don't have to say if it is, you just really piqued my curiosity :D)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin

OT: If everything goes well, then I think I can. I have my career pretty well planned out, but I will need a LOT of luck for everything to go right.

No.

 Plays in the same stance as a guitar, you can have it close to you like one, and you touch it. You can do scales, smooth seamless slide across the octaves (or phased slide by half-tone) and you can "transform" the sound in real time. This "sound transforming" feature is actually what is curious about it because makes possible playing completely different sounding notes using just your skill. No buttons, no sliders for effects or whatsoever. Using just your hands and a "simple" way of playing, despite it being WTF-like at first glance.

I'm sorry for being talking about it like it is so secretive and big shit but it is actually something valuable to me.

Edit: I had the idea when I've heard this song:

 

Since from the start till vocals kick in you have some violin like sound(?) waving as a background sound. Imagine an instrument were you control all that and the sound is smooth, or fragmented, or whatever. That's basically what I've came up with.

And I named it Smoothar/Flowtar

Doubt it... hell I doubt that most people from this thread will. I dont want to offend anyone, but I saw plenty of people in my life who where just as confident as most of you, and still failed miserably...


well if they failed and didnt keep trying thats their fault lol dont doubt the people in this thread because your friends failed and decided not to keep trying.

@ DaHuuuuuudge

Yeah me too. Unfortunately I don't know how to program and how to assemble the piece where you produce the notes to play.

I'd need trustful a programmer, and an electronics hardware expert. I only have the concept and the details on the materials to use, I can't assemble and program them all by myself. My friend that owns a Music Store can't help me either, its way to advanced for him. That's my problem. I can't go somewhere and say: "Look, I got this, wanna do this with me?", "No, but thanks for the idea asshole, I'll do it by myself now, I don't need you..."

Then with the instrument actually built and working right, I'd need a way to market and mass produce it, or finding a deal with a music company, such as Fender, Rolland, etc and cash in like 5~10%(?) of the price per instrument sold.

 

 

 



Sure.  It ain't hard to be a millionaire.  The US is supposed to have over 4.7 million dollar households

That's like 4.1% of the population.

Don't need to create a company or anything.  Just need to invest moderatly well.

Will I?  Probably not.  Gave up getting into a lucrative career path to help my girlfriend get through school instead, because at the end of the day she cares more then me about what she does as a living, and teachers don't pay that well. 

Well, unless she ends up at a big place.

Then again, don't plan on having kids... so that's an extra like... 100K-200K right there.



I currently have about 65k in various savings (mostly RRSP's, some stock, etc)

This isn't "great" for my age (I am 31) however I just started to save about 5 years ago, so I think I am doing fairly well, and should have a million in 20-25 years hopefully.

How did you get started on the stock market?

I'd be interested in buying some stock too, unfortunately I'd be all by myself on that and I don't know where to start.

I buy stock through my company.. and the RRSP's as well..  they hire people to manage it for us.  You can always just do it yourself through e-trade..  I've always wanted to buy like $500 in stock just to see how I do, like a year ago I should have bought oil futures when it hit like $50 a barrel - now it's back up into the mid 80's
