T-Saturator is a smart level-independent saturation plug-in that gives you precise control over your track’s tone and character. Whether you’re looking for subtle warmth, enhanced dynamic range, or screaming distortion, T-Saturator will get you there with ease.

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

https://www.patreon.com/posts/ocean-plate-100710016

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.

It's an app that you use to analyze final mixes and detect any issues, and more. Here's the link at Plugin Boutique:

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.

[stubbsonic]

The description is pretty fascinating-- (IMHO, more fascinating than the sounds themselves). But still it's an intriguing idea and looks well executed. I didn't download, so I can't vouch for it.

Ozone 11 Elements for FREE at Sweetwater!

https://www.sweetwater.com/software/ozone-elements

Heck... I have the full Ozone 11, but I might try to get a license for this one, because I have Ozone 9 Elements and as I recall the CPU hit on Elements was lighter than the full version.

(Be forewarned... they require your name and address and email to send you the link.)

Techivation T-De-Esser 2 - FREE

Just got this in my email:

Dear Techivation user,

We are thrilled to introduce our latest plugin, the Techivation
T-De-Esser 2— It is FREE!

In July 2021, we released our first audio plugin, the T-De-Esser, which quickly became a favourite among many professionals. To celebrate the third anniversary of the T-De-Esser and Techivation’s entry into the audio software world, we are excited to offer you our brand new T-De-Esser 2 plugin.

T-De-Esser 2 addresses harshness and sibilance issues even more naturally and musically than the T-De-Esser. It enhances the overall mix in a gentle, pleasing manner and can be used on individual tracks, group tracks, or the master buss without causing undesirable effects or artefacts.

The entire DSP algorithm in the T-De-Esser 2 has been upgraded, and it is equipped with additional features. The plugin also boasts the brand-new MK2 user interface from our T series, enhancing workflow and making it more user-friendly.

You can get it here:

Ok, free, sure, so I did it.

Well, this was a surprise. Normally, when I install Ozone, Elements and Advanced of any version, whichever I install last works and the other two are unavailable in DP. This has been true ever since the iZotope Product Portal happened again when I allowed NI to install my copy of Ozone 10 (the standard version installs with Ozone Advanced anyway so there's no point).

This has changed with 11. As you can see, the freebie installed alongside the Advanced plugs and there's Standard sitting at the top. Although I do have a copy of Standard in one of my packages, I'm leaving well enough alone.

For kicks, I tried it on Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini with the composer at the piano— 1941 in glorious lo-fi mono. No, it cannot perform miracles but it was fun to see what was possible. It's in 25 parts on my CD, not a problem, but on my iPhone, it's 25 separate pieces so I dumped it into DP awhile back so that it will play back as a single piece in iTunes.

Yeah... I'm not sure how, but I was able to have Ozone 9 Elements and the full version installed at the same time at one point. I still have Ozone 9 Elements installed.

Unfortunately (and I think I posted about this in the Plugin "Deals" topic), the CPU savings of the Elements version versus the full version that was there in Version 9 isn't very dramatic in Version 11. Details are in that post here: viewtopic.php?p=613048#p613048

Ozone 11 Elements only saved about 3% on the CPU hit versus the full version of Ozone 11. Oh well...

PressPlay Wave Observer - FREE

Features:

• An 8 layer vector "oscillator" with harmonic pitch control
  Multimode harmonic filter
  A flexible selection of modulators with LFO, envelope, table, step sequencer and gate sequencer modes
  Diverse sound library sourced from vintage synths
  SFZ, WAV and AIF import

I infer from the various pages that this is still in development, and will have some bugs; and that there is or will be an "expanded" version which appears to have a name-your-price field. There also appears to be a sibling product called Xolotl which you can view by clicking the "Brother Synth" link on the github page.

I love the color scheme and graphical elements of the GUI.

I tested it and it worked as of 12:25pm PDT. It changed the price to FREE. Just don't bother adding the free gift when you put it in your cart, because it will be removed when you enter the code. I would have jumped on myself, but already have them.
