For my use, Audiomulch won over these three contenders at that time.
Unfortunately AM is not developing further and I need to work on a platform that keept itself up to date to newest technologies ( 64 bits, multicores), so it looks like Usine is the real solution for me now.
My setup is pretty complex so I feel that I can save a huge amount of time if I work on it with direct feedback flow with a physical mentor.
I will meet a user friend from France in about two weeks from now and I will check how my setup would work in Usine.
If the situation will look promising as I expect, I will take this new path and make it my road.
Thank you so much for being available in helping me, I will certainly ask for you assistence when it will be needed.

my best,
Luca

Unfortunately I'm not living near you.
But I can say out of experience you can opt for Usine over Audiomulch with your eyes closed.
I have been using Usine since the very beginning, migrating from Reaktor.
I have also a pretty complex setup with lots of audio & midi live processing,
made several audio and midi-loopers and processing tools (even a full fledged crazy sequencer/drummachine) from scratch and have been using them on critical moments on stage and in the studio.
Currently working with lots of outboard connected and made a complete 'total recall' preset system (with MIDI program changes for all outboard) in just 2 hours.

I must say I had a hard time migrating patches to the new Hollyhock version (they weren't fully compatible). But for the moment I'm migrating my new Hollyhock patches from Windows to OSX without problems.
At the time Hollyhock just came out, I tried all other options before starting all over again. I got into Bidule, AudioMulch, Max/MSP/Max4Live, PureData, Flowstone, FruityLoops,...
After a while I realized Usine is the best/most flexible/easiest/fastest/... :-)
The new Bitwig Studio looks promising too, but modular environment is not yet a fact (I'll have to see that ;-) ) and don't know about CPU-load? So IMHO not so interesting if you're a musician/producer and not a DJ/producer.

The cool thing about Usine is you just use what you need so you can reduce CPU-load significantly.
Another big plus is that you can use VST's inside your own creations or make new GUI's for your favourite plugs (for use on stage or with touchscreen for example) or use them in ways that would prove pretty difficult in any other software (like putting LFO's on parameters).

just go for it, Usine is way ahead! And it keeps on raining updates...

So if you have any specific questions, I would be glad to help you if I can!

greetings & all the best,
Andrew

It is a rather complex routing architecture using several audio flows, each one with many controllers and Vsts.
I also use two external hardware processors where the signal is sent to and received from.
I don't use samples, the audio source is guitar played in real time.

It looks like Usine can handle this setup and would like to make a serious test.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to learn Usine to replicate my Audiomulch setup with all the many things I need, therefore like to know if there is anyone living in my area or passing from here who uses Usine this way to spend a couple of hours with him/her.

I live in northern Italy, near lake Garda.

Thank you !
