Teletone Audio Tone Architect v1.0.0 [WiN/macOS] REGGED-MOCHA screenshot
MOCHA | VST3/AAX/AU | WiN: 43.1 MB | MAC: 56.5 MB
A saturation, tone shaping, compression machine.

The Vision
Tone Architect is not a one-knob wonder or a surgical tool. It’s a creative space — designed to bring back the joy of shaping sound by ear, not by eye.

Design and Distort
The SATURATOR section was designed by an electrical engineer to replicate the characteristics and complexities of the analog trinity: Tape, Tube and Cassette.

Push and Pull Tech
The TONE SHAPER section is where Push-Pull meets Multi-Band. This novel approach to tone shaping takes you out of the digital world, and into the analog universe.

Boost, attenuate, expand and contract using a Pultec inspired Multi-Band compressor that takes lackluster sounds back to the golden era of audio production.

Compress and Contour
The COMPRESSOR section utilizes a 4-stage RMS based VCA compressor with plenty of punch.

With 4x Oversampling and a built-in Multi-Band compressor, Tone Architect can add glue, shine, and an analog edge to anything from drum bus to mix bus.

Thanks! Had a little playback problem with Ableton right after authorizing, I suggest delete and reload the insert. I thought it would be some money grab marketing hype, but it's actually a quite good ensemble, especially for acoustic drums. Nothing crazy but it's a fast workflow to dial in that kind of punchy pultec sound. Interface is good, controls are easy, sound is nice, saturation is well... "another one of those" but sound wise the plugin can be useful, not just another "dime a dozen" plugin like the kiive ones. (I'm sorry for who gets triggered but they aren't close to what they emulate and the sound quality is cheap digital stuff, not far from waves quality).

Before you say something like that, maybe try to back it up? Otherwise it just sounds like rage bait. Maybe you don’t know much about acoustics, or you wouldn’t be saying this!

Very easy, just a/b with hardware counterparts and the kiive sound is the classical "2D" boxy plugin sound, compressors instead while they handle transient and overall envelope properly they choke and close much more easily than the real thing, on top of that all their plugins suffer a lot from aliasing even after oversampling which is a digital artifact driving mud all across the spectrum. I don't need to bait anyone, I just state factual and verifiable conclusions, a skeuomorphic graphic and some marketing can't change the sound. Let's keep this about the good Tone Architect though.

bro i really appreciate posts like these, plugin marketing lingo these days is getting exhausting with every compression/saturation plugin using the same lame buzzwords and boasting abt being able to go from from "subtle to extreme" or being able to able to be used on the master, busses, AND individual tracks... like i understand wanting to provide value for paying customers but i appreciate any info highlighting the actual functional differences and ID'ing the crappy ones, which i don't think is a bratty thing at all to do though it always seems to garner at least a little snark or "don't complain if its free" while we have no right to make demands or complaints towards the crackers/distribution i think the tools themselves are fair game and criticisms by no means rage bait. please don't let fear of their attitude prevent you from sharing feedback!

that said would you have any recs for plugins brands in terms of truly breaking new ground or standing out in terms of audio quality? or the opposite for that matter any particular brands you consider duds. thanks dude

Acustica Audio, overall UAD, Metric Halo, Oeksound (even if their tools are overused imo), for digital eqs you have a lot of choice, then a lot of indie/small devs actually do a good job: TBProAudio, klanghelm, RJS, Tone Projects, Voxengo, Fuse Labs, TB... you gotta try and test, not everything is great and good manufacturers can come up with bad products as well... it's like with cars, even good brands sometimes do some bad stuff, I mean even PA or Softube have some that are good, I personally have a spreadsheets and a very accurate DAW folders and categorization, and everything that is not needed or not needed anymore or that doesn't pass the bar is out.

Subjective based on your material and intentions surley , i actually bought Kiive tapeface after trialing it here , its good. As for waves , i dont understand why you dont like them , been around since day one..

waves C1 still rocks
mv2 very good
TransX handy
H-Delay juicy
etc etc
  Member 10.04.2025 11

Yes and no, I do have tape face even though I don't remember the last time I used it in practice since I switched away from tape machine emulations based workflow for saturation.
As I said some PA and softube ones are also good. I do use some waves plugins, mostly utilities, for example I use vocal rider every week! Even if there are better and fancier alternatives, it's just more immediate, their API eqs are decent even if they don't extend and open up as the real thing in both directions, the compressors are a mess because of old code they can't handle beginning of transients, that's why when you have quick release no matter how much you push them they have that clicky bs attack transient which makes no sense + they all suffer from aliasing, including the ones you mentioned. Sometimes (rarely) that deterioration of the signal is also beneficial, for example it closes in and glues more dry vocals... still technically wrong, but if used with caution, it can't do too much harm. H-delay even with "analog" off suffers from aliasing distortion, do you know how much of a mackerel you must be to introduce aliasing in a delay? People don't see it because they're on the other side, but behind the curtain there's obsolete and clunky spaghetti code, you don't want your music to be polluted by that. Overall there are better alternatives all around, those plugins have something like 20 years, they can re-do a higher dpi graphics but code wise is ouch and they can't even re-do them because it would change sound (for the better) + commercially wise it's better to sell more new stuff and abandon the old, which is something that many other players like Acustica Audio suffer from.

Nope, lots of professionals who test Kiive Audio products say they’re the closest to real analog emulation you can get right now. For example, their Distressor is the best you’ll find.

  Member 10.04.2025 11

Of course it doesn't compare. "Lots of professionals say"... Use your ears! Develop them, try to get and use good monitoring and acoustics as first thing, get the chance to listen to the real thing if you can, etc. don't ever take anybody's word for it, let alone YouTubers etc.
Many award winning engineers still use waves and pro tools, and it's not for the sound or how good they are, those people got there with a series of skills, among them network, handling clients, situations, etc. As for the tools is like a good chef who uses mediocre ingredients, you're still a good chef, but try use better ones if you can. These are tools, you don't judge an electrician by which screwdriver is using, said that you may wanna check how marketing works in the audio field, but again, this is just to get better tools.

Can confirm. Have Ears and good monitors and good plugins, Kiive is generic shit like most of hyped stuff on the internet, same with Pulsar Modular, Acustica, Waves, NI, Softube, you name it, same with most of PA stuff, sounds like ass. If Hardware were sounding like this crap, there would be no great records long before today. 90% of modern music sounds like crap, not the case with older records, go figure, hardware emulation my ass.

your correct Kiive stuff sounds good on a amateur home studio, maybe cut the final mix too see how but in reality they are generic, like Audio Assault but also the generics are getting really good,

Her eis whats going on, 1-most if not 90% of plugins are not faithfull, even the most claimed to be faithfull one are, but now we have ways to get so close people are ditching their hardware, not exactly yet, but here I say thing, while its getting closer with AI and exerting at speeds unpredictable (even as of next month something amazing can happen) the only thing left for one to choose a plying besides it sound is features, imagine we can all create a plugin with AI but someone made the same exact sounding plugin with features that utilise more things beyond the hardware, stereo or bus outing, in out levels, side chaining, altered playback option so when adding the same plugin across your DAW's console no harmonics clash , saturate making a mess. etc etc, I like the way they implement features.

the one best new plugin better then UAD is the new Roland Space echo., but compare what UAD and others offer with theirs

check this video: Compressor Scam
It is unfortunately the truth. All these nice looking GUI's don't change the basics. The sound all more or less the same - and the same is with the all those EQ's.

Forget the fact that you're using a video that is a contradiction to everything that the creator and narrator of the video is supposedly "exposing".

Even more so, on top of the noticeable amount of flaws in the video to begin with and leaps of faith made based on an inadequate and incomplete study , you're also just conveniently using another person's opinion thought out and conceptually explored already for you so you don't have to do that for you own and that whole part of building logically sound ideals within yourself.

Finally, you then are using those already flawed and incomplete notions that you didn't fully explore yourself as your own and passing them as truth.

I don't necessarily disagree with your comment entirely, honestly quite the contrary, but at the end of the day its an extremely gross generalization of something with a lot of nuance. However, citing that** video specifically is the opposite of the point you're trying to make because there are just too many glaring flaws as well as confirmation bias within it.

Static test tones? We must be more diligent. I don't mean to look down brother, i only want to see peers always improve in any endeavor.

Godspeed brother

That video is really poor. He claims that people think compressors are magic then builds his argument around this. His analytical methods are questionable.
All it comes down to is does this tool do the job you want to it to & how quickly does it get you there.
The marketing side of things is definitely bull but I think a lot of that comes down to hype around the hardware itself not that the emulations aren't accurate.
How often do you hear a record and say hold on that clearly wasn't made with a real SSL
nobody ever says that. But what i do hear is poor mixing & mastering skills.

Kiive, Pulsar modular and softube are generic ? 🤣
  Member 10.04.2025 11

Personally I would say so and so... you gotta be selective, for example p42 and p44 of pulsar modular and some of their eqs are good (I mean they're still eq after all), some plugins of the other pulsar also good, softube some stuff pretty good some stuff classic good old flat and boxy plugin sound... It's all usable anyway. The thing about emulations is that we got down to a science how to reproduce eq curves and compressors envelopes, but harmonic creation in the digital domain is a bitch. This is also true in synthesizers anyway. We're still a bit far in terms of computing and data speed... It's gonna come anyway, sooner rather than later. I hope by then people stop chasing endless gear and focus more on sound and creativity... We're way too overcrowded by hardware and software that for a good bunch does the same thing and gets there in 120 different way. Survival of companies and Marketing got us into McDonald's economy and high churn. You could get to a grammy by just using what comes stock in your DAW anyway. It's the ear not the gear.


Btw algorithms and computing power improve, an example: take serum 1 and serum 2, side to side, keep the default wave, put voices count to max, add like a sub osc few octaves down and say modulate (via lfo) both sub osc and main osc with a filter. What you'll notice is bigger bottom, wider sound and brigther top end in the new one, why? Because Steve Duda himself talked about improved handling of aliasing and better quality of filters while keeping presets of serum 1 compatible and sounding the same.

Unfortunately, this is the hard truth that many consumers of audio plug-ins will try to hide or fight.
I sympathise with them; they don't have a lot of money to afford a good hardware outboard, just like me, but I don't agree with the lies being spread about it.

Digital products that really sound 1:1 with hardware don't exist, and don't even come close to the stupid % claimed by PA and many others, including Kiive, who can't even optimize his damn presets menû, let alone the rest.
The only processors that come close to 1:1 with their HW counterparts are those where the hardware is digital and not analogue.
for what remains, If you spent your time doing null tests between plug-ins in the same category but from different developers, you would find that most of them cancel each other out completely. I do this from time to time and, for example, the last completely null test (-140db) was between the EQ of the Metric Halo ChannelStrip and that of the Eventide EChannel.... ahahahah

Same settings Ableton Stock (Eq + Compressor) vs Famous Brands = Normal people will not hear the difference in the mix.
