Try before I buy?

Hi, would it be possible for me to try Ardour before I buy it? It's not like I am a cheapskate, it's just I am curious about the program and would be happy to pay what I can afford if I decide to use it.
Thanks!

Hi and a Happy New Year,
@WESMC. First a few assumptions. Wesmc you posted on the osx part of the forum, so you
probably can afford a mac. (maybe I'm wrong and you're running the cheapest Hackintosh). Still....
Ardour is open source almost freeware, it can't be developed without people that use it
chipping in for further development. Most of the alternatives to Ardour are way
more expensive, don't have demoversions (as far as I know,
only people repeating the marketing talk), lack a lot of the flexibility,
they still have serious shortcomings and you don't have the possibility to
spur development on specific issues by sponsoring the specific tackling of that issue.
maybe you like beer than this analogy may appeal to you.
you buy a bottle, like it and than you buy a case...or not
best
Johan
PS. yes, I think you are a cheapskate.

Come on. At the very least he's a slightly expensive-skate. ;-)
