I have no experience with this, but perhaps someone does. It looks similar to some plugs by Dear Reality, but those are really expensive.

EDIT: apparently requires Java to run certain functions.

LOTUS SOUND AUDIO Ocean Plate Reverb - FREE

LOTUS SOUND AUDIO Ocean Plate Reverb - FREE

The YouTube video doesn't really have any audio examples. You can download it and try it out. Also keep in mind that developer doesn't seem to have a proper installer so you have to drag the .component file into your Components folder. This will result in the plug being "quarantined" and it wont pass validation. So prior to launch DP you will have to fix this issue using Terminal as described in this post.

Mastering the Mix EXPOSE2 - FREE at Plugin Boutique

Mastering the Mix EXPOSE2 - FREE

No idea how long this will last. You have to go to Plugin Boutique and get it there and then use the code EXPB100 at checkout.

It's an app that you use to analyze final mixes and detect any issues, and more. Here's the link at Plugin Boutique:
https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/7908-EXPOSE-2

Also more info on the app here:
https://www.masteringthemix.com/products/expose-2



Here's the direct link to the PDF manual for EXPOSE 2 at Plugin Boutique. Might be helpful. Heck, it's free (for now)... grab it and THEN figure out if you can use it.

Free "Inflator" style plugin

Read about this on another forum. Someone commented it wasn't half bad. Might be worth checking out:

https://github.com/Kiriki-liszt/JS_Infl ... tag/v2.0.0

UPDATE: Ignore this... it's a bust. Even after you use Terminal to remove quarantine, AU fails exam and VST3 loads, but doesn't seem to do anything.
