We have a couple of these at work, and boy are they power hungry.
Firstly, what speed is your internal HD? It really needs to be at least 7200 rpm. Ideally the Ivory samples should be located on a separate drive altogether as it streams a vast amount of sample data. Even with this, when using Ivory in a complex arrangement we often have to do our piano programming on an alternative plug-in (EXS24 for example), then transfer the midi parts to a new arrangement, sort the settings and sounds for Ivory before committing it to audio and transferring the resulting part back into the full arrangement. To be honest, this is a royal pain in the rear, but the results are usually so good that our students calm down once they hear a full mix. I don't think you need the RTAS version as this is for ProTools and Cubase only supports the VST standard. Also, keep checking the Synthogy site for updates. The last Mac update improved performance by about 50%. -------------------- www.myspace.com/commercialmusicstudios
