Hi all,
There are a lot of variables that influence the performance, sound and playability of Ivory II (and other similar products), including hardware of the computer running it, the installed OS, the configuration of the OS, the quality of the audio interface and monitors/headphones, etc, etc.
In my case, the improvement provided by Ivory might be stellar - or it might not work at all.
So, for for me, buying Ivory II (without taking care of all these risks) would be a hugh leap of faith - to the darkness.
Unfortunately, I can not afford to just pay the price and hope it would be OK, so I definitly need a way to try it out before I buy it.
But here is the catch: there is no demo/evaluation version available.
There is a remote playing session, but
a) it does not run on my HW, so I can not evaluate it's feasibility.
b) it has horrible delay, so I can not really evaluate playaability
Is there a way around this?
I am thinking about contacting someone who has already bought it, and trying his/her copy on my HW. (Borrowing the iLok for the time.)
This is fully legal, right?
What do you think the best approach would be to locate people with Ivory II who live at (or near) Budapest?
Thank you for your help:
