Not only do they let the product speak for itself, but they also offered a free upgrade for people (myself included) who have recently purchased Timeless 2 (alone or in a bundle). Can't say enough about how great a move that is as a company in terms of hospitality and customer care. Fabfilter all the way!
Fabfilter plugins are so well designed that when somebody starting out asks what plugins should they buy first, I say Fabfilter. For one main reason: they make learning what you’re doing really intuitive. It’s so easy to tweak and dial in and get good visual feedback for what you’re doing to the audio. That’s invaluable from a learning aspect as well as a workflow aspect. Sound quality is most important, but ease of use and a coherent visual language help you get better results and save time.. and for pros time is money
Just starting out? These plugins are GREAT, though I never liked Timeless too much, hated the mirror symmetry of the left side of the plug, the timing/feedback/crossover section of TImeless 2... and back then, if herbal remedies were being used, it'd actually cave in my skull, not enjoyable, and I noticed recently Dan makes the same complaint about the UI of Brainworx's Shadow Hills comp... I agree with Dan. But they are GREAT plugins, honestly, they are my benchmark, any other plugin has to compare against Fab Filter. They are "PRO" level, like you can go from newb to "pro" with this same set of plugins. BUT! The price, man, they are EXPENSIVE!!!1! I don't know if they are the right choice for someone just getting started out. I mean, if you've just built your production PC for $1,500, then OS, DAW, Controller, decent quality Studio Monitors, Cabling, Power Conditioning... NOW you have to spend over a $GRAND on your basic mixing plugins... I don't know, man... I'd recommend starting out with your DAW's included plugins if you're just starting out. I really would. But I realize that I'm from a certain socioeconomic segment of society, as well as segment of ethic/morality... I forget, but there are other segments, segments where you can be just starting out, and ask Momz or Dadz for $10,000 to play around with making electronic music and it is no thing. There are a LOT of people in this situation, in which case, sure, go for it. And this segment may not be troubled with such excess while up to 50,000 children die EACH DAY from starvation and dehydration. I mean, what's that a week... 350,000 children dead, and in a month... 1,400,000 dead children... and in a year, you have two holocausts. And in a decade, twenty holocausts of human potential, human life... how many Einsteins, Shakespears, Dan Worells lost to the dirt? Hard to value plugin quality against this needless, artificially induced human atrocity. But that is just me, and my issues. Spend away.
Great review (or look). Great plugin ! Great company !! At 9:53 as you said “woah” a plane started to fly over my house... for a split second I thought THAT was the delay ! 😊😊😊😊
I can confirm that this is the ultimate delay plugin. I've used Timeless 2 for a very long time, with the UI being as "clunky" as it was, modulation was slightly more difficult to achieve, but the old one could achieve almost any type of delay imaginable. With these new features, they not only simplify the process, but offer an entire new realm of godlike delay possibilities. If any of you lovely Timeless 3 users haven't pampered in the presets, I highly recommend doing so. It opens your eyes to the capabilities of this amazing delay plugin. Happy echoing! 🙂
The UI is great, of course, but nobody is mentioning that the sound is kinda “chintzy” and digital. Big fan of other FabFilter plugins, but undecided about this one. If they have a fee demo I’ll give it a try.
How quickly once you started touching the EQ you got a masterpiece level sound was crazy. This is an immediate buy from me, fabfilter has outdone themselves again.
wow, thats the first plugin you make a video about where i think at every single knob "omg that sounds so cool i need to have that in my own productions"
Yeah you'll need that better job haha ☺️ They cost so much one could almost not buy like 5-10 plugins and get a real hardware device. Or a guitar pedal for the price of one plugin
wow that is amazing and incredibly usable. you play a new keyboard at the store has lots of cool presets but they are not useable in real life when you get home but this is very useable. Impressed much
The Timeless 2 was quite hard to use but this one looks easy and sounds amazing ! Some of the parameters will definitely replace a chain of like four plugins including the delay on my aux tracks. Fabfilter nailed it again. 👌🏼
FabFilter are to audio what Apple used to be to computing. They come up with things you absolutely "must have" before you even knew you wanted them. This does in seconds what it used to take 5 plugins and a LOT of time to do. Amazing.
Another option is Valhalla Delay. It's actually very nice, has a lot of options, different styles (not just vintage), it's intuitive and quick to use...love it.
Dude, the two greens sliders on the bottom are macros. They are a modulators you can tie to multiple parameters, name them whatever, delete them, add more of them, etc., and they are preset-specific. Also, you can automate them. Saturn 2 works the same way.
I instantly bought the upgrade for 38€ (absolute nobrainer) and its incredible. Not only for mixing but also as a creative effect, so versatile. You can get some insane FX sounds out of this one
Timeless 2 was by far the best delay plugin I've ever used, and even sometimes a better chorus/stereo modulation plug than most of my others. Now that this is out, I think FF has a corner on both the EQ and delay markets for digital.
Fab really knows what is useful and bar none the best UI in the industry. I love/d the old Timeless and this looks like a solid evolution forward.... well played :)
"vintage sounding delay" = some waveshaper in the feedback-loop to avoid it breaking out massively but still. this thing is freaking awesome! oh and since you were asking yourself: the randomness triggers your ears nicely because that's essentially a vibrato, and in this context with the feedback and all these taps it can even be a chorus
Great review, I'm hooked. You missed one small bit with the LoFi... you just ease it in about 10% and you get a great LoFi delay. You hit it for about 200ms then cranked it. That's not a crankable effect, lol! No worries, As usual you thoroughly run up these things which is a great help to us out here.
Idk. I think Echoboy & H Delay held down the market for the longest. Valhalla was a good addition but this addition from FabFilter.... really killing the game. Especially with the visual satisfaction this plugin creates.
Those two are my go to delays as well, but some of the demos of Timeless 3 are really pushing me to grab it. I think it has its own character and would be a really useful additional tool for more sound design-y delays. There is a demo on RUclips of someone playing an alto flute track through it that sounds absolutely incredible.
Definitely check out Echo Boy! It's a bit older, so it doesn't have as many features, but the features it does have are insane! So many different delay types (if you're interested in different delay modes, check out Primal Tap's Criss-Cross mode - it's a modified Ping Pong) and analog emulations! They also have a basic Low/High cut, but they have a 3 band EQ for the decay - effecting the EQ as the delay goes on (really useful trick is to use this to add movement to your delays). SoundToys have the original best creative mixing plugins.
@@jonztube Soundtoys were innovative for their time and still have plugins that are hard to beat. Their student discount makes them easy to afford for the beginner.
I LOVE this channel. Quality sound is one of my obsessions, but I don’t have the knowledge of equipment or language. -Example: I want to know what it means when I say “the speaker makes the song sound like it’s playing through a tin can” and what to do when I say that it needs a “warmer, full sound”
I have sooooo many delays I declared a moratorium. I've only scratched the surface of Melda MTurboDelay but it seems capable of more delay effects than I can imagine. Love to get your take on that.
Hmmmmm. This sounds beautiful. I love delays and have way too many delay plugins. My latest favorite with a lot of character is the Valhalla delay. It has so many algorithms and such warmth and color. Im now going to have to download this demo and play with it. Damnit. Trying to not spend more money on plugins for a while but a few things have dropped like this which sound amazing.
for me delay has been Replica xt and valhalla Delay but this changes everything timeless 2 was never so appealing its was mehh but this mind blowing 🤯🤯🤯🤯
I don't know whether I really need this at all - after all, Logic's Delay Designer does a lot of really neat and similar stuff. But then - I know that I really want it! Especially after this 'tip of the iceberg' review in which Wytse grabs me by my short and curlies and fill my mind with desire. Or is it FabFilter that's doing that?
At some point you might wanna check out the Uad delay pedal. They claimed on jhs they’ve gone “beyond” the Uad plugins and completely recreated some of those with new processors. The ep3 or ep2 forgot which one would be very interesting to get your opinion on
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
I'd happily begin a crowdfund for these guys to develop a DAW. How sleek would that be.. One can only dream
Oh shit.... This is an idea!
WhiteSea! shoot them an email please! xDDD (they like you)
use bitwig.
I have no direct Fabfilter contact 😅
Thats a true dream!
These guys know what we want and how we want!!
This would be IT!

Of course Fabfilter are going to do something absolutely great. I don't even know how they could make it better.
Tbh I found V2 a bit cumbersome at the times. After trying v3... I can't wait to upgrade 😅😁
@@DaveChips literally never used T2 because it was hideous, already purchased this and it’s now my go to!
2021, you can't release a delay without ducking anymore IMO. FabFilter doing great as always
Ducking the feedback is one step further I didn't even think of.
I'm a simple man: Fabfilter releases a plugin, I buy it.
Great review (or look).
Great plugin !
Great company !!

@Constantine Fetter so? FX chain is buld in 10sec. or just use a Preset.
wow, thats the first plugin you make a video about where i think at every single knob "omg that sounds so cool i need to have that in my own productions"
Fabfilter gave me a free upgrade and I wasn't even expecting it. Real nice! Good video btw.
It’s definitely worth the upgrade. With the ducking feature and all the new modulation this has become it one of my go to delay plugins
I am slowly getting into Fab filter plugins. I can’t believe i’ve been missing out for so long (helps that I have a better job now)
Yeah you'll need that better job haha ☺️
They cost so much one could almost not buy like 5-10 plugins and get a real hardware device.
Or a guitar pedal for the price of one plugin
I hear you, loving fab filter. Also - more affrodable in bundles
@@MIHAO Thanks, I have to take a look. At least with Fabfilter you know it's good stuff :D
As always, FabFilter answers my prayers. This is everything I wanted out of a delay and it's so easy to use.
wow that is amazing and incredibly usable. you play a new keyboard at the store has lots of cool presets but they are not useable in real life when you get home but this is very useable. Impressed much

Hi ! You may have forgotten to mention the "parallel" button... my favorite fonction of this EQ !
FabFilter are to audio what Apple used to be to computing. They come up with things you absolutely "must have" before you even knew you wanted them. This does in seconds what it used to take 5 plugins and a LOT of time to do. Amazing.
Fabfilter always makes the best plugin in the game
omg shrek wazowski you are everywere i go🙈
Another option is Valhalla Delay. It's actually very nice, has a lot of options, different styles (not just vintage), it's intuitive and quick to use...love it.
I love how you fail at hiding how much you respect Fabfilters! 👊🏻😎
Yeah he is definitely a fan, but I mean who isn't? Fabfilter essentials was probably one of the best single purchases I have ever made with plugins.
like an excited kid when you find something it unexpectedly that blows the mind
I havent been this excited for a plugin in a while now. Seeing your excitement is really driving it home for me too. Cheers buddy!
No question, I'll be upgrading. I think, I've "finally" found my go-to delay plugin. Well done, again, FabFilter. Great demo.
Dude, the two greens sliders on the bottom are macros. They are a modulators you can tie to multiple parameters, name them whatever, delete them, add more of them, etc., and they are preset-specific. Also, you can automate them. Saturn 2 works the same way.
What I’m saying in the video 😂
We all know very damn well he wasn't gonna call Timeless snake oil.
*whispers* because it's good
Lol I would have un-subed
Well, this went exactly like I expected. Another good job by Fabfilter!
Looks like a great redesign of timeless 2
Beautiful sounding and great versatility. 5 stars
I love the joy in White Sea's eyes right off the top
Garrett Evans Wow thank you Garrett, you've made my day!
I instantly bought the upgrade for 38€ (absolute nobrainer) and its incredible.
Not only for mixing but also as a creative effect, so versatile. You can get some insane FX sounds out of this one

This looks & sounds promising. Thanks for the review/demo brother! Great work as usual.
Nice to see how to use timeless purely as a delay. Exciting development and not too expensive for upgrade from Timeless 2. :)
Many thanks Mr Darude
This eq was a quick and easy buy. Sounds amazing it's easy to use and looks dope
Bedankt
I love the ducking and the stereo things!
Excellent video. FabFilter is on a serious roll. Thanks for the review, buddy!
it is always very amusing to listen to you when it comes to the fact that any digital plugin crowns itself to sound analog.:-D
mandatory crap for dinosaurs closed in analog bubble :D
Ok. A beautiful sounding delay..... I'm hypnotized.
Fabfilter makes perfect stuff as always.
Wow I really love FabFilter
Last time I heard that exact 'LoFi' sound, @5.21 I was playing missile command in the arcades back in the 80's. Damn, that takes me back!!!!
Oh and my goodness, just look at that GUI!!!!
Bitcrushing!
It's actually reminding me of the recent release of that CXM 1978 Automatone
Love this guys excitement.
Timeless vs Valhalla vs Echoboy. Lets goooo
Hahahahah! Exactly what i was wondering... i have valhalla and was going to get me echoboy but now... im hesitating because of being on a budget XD
@@FertassiFarah soundtoys went on sale, and I was going to get echoboy too, and now seeing this.. you get the point
Dude, keep doing what you do
Tis beautiful, great sound and perfect layout. Damn. THIS IS THE LAST PLUGIN. THIS ONE. NO MORE PLUGINS!
Love to finally have this fabulous plugin on iOS, outside of Auria Pro. Best delay ever.
Best delay in my opinion. Grate!
I heard a roomer Fabfilter is releasing a Timeless 3 sponsored edition with screws
Seems to do a lot that my fav Valhalla Delay does, but a bit differently! Will get it for sure
Yea, possibly more going on in valhalla barring the visual feedback, looks like a handy delay anyway.
I love your channel, man. Very good job!
Wow this amazed me one idea I thought of is the pitch modulation could create a sort of crescendo. Once again great review thanks
Fab really knows what is useful and bar none the best UI in the industry. I love/d the old Timeless and this looks like a solid evolution forward.... well played :)
Substantial improvement over 2
"vintage sounding delay" = some waveshaper in the feedback-loop to avoid it breaking out massively
but still. this thing is freaking awesome!
oh and since you were asking yourself: the randomness triggers your ears nicely because that's essentially a vibrato, and in this context with the feedback and all these taps it can even be a chorus
Just the UI redesign alone is a huge improvement for me already.
Man they are killing it again!
A nice step forward in dly plug programming. A real functional intuitive design from them, as always 😏👍
Great review, I'm hooked. You missed one small bit with the LoFi... you just ease it in about 10% and you get a great LoFi delay. You hit it for about 200ms then cranked it.

Great show and this plugin is a must have !
Fab is the best.
Period.
I wish they made gear
wasn't expecting this much of an upgrade but holy fuck I gotta get this one :O
Wow this looks really cool. Will be high on the list once the fab filter plugins are in my price range. 😅
fabfilter is an amazing company 👌🏻💯
AAS Objeq Delay very creative and great sounding
ValhallaDelay and Echoboy are some great Delay Plugins!
And UVI Relayer!!! NI Replika XT too. And D16 Tekturon! Best delay plugins!!
Idk. I think Echoboy & H Delay held down the market for the longest. Valhalla was a good addition but this addition from FabFilter.... really killing the game. Especially with the visual satisfaction this plugin creates.

@@5adb0i "innovative for their time" was 20 years ago. They have no business selling VGA resolution plugins in 2021. Get over it.
The next ultimate delay plugin. Now I'm ready for the next ultimate delay plugin :-)
Diffusion sounds like fun.
It's what I always wanted in a delay.
Boz Imperial Delay and Valhalla Delay are also really good delay plugins with very similar features.
Fabfilter always crushes it.
so far its the only delay i've seen that can be used by itself to give you almost any delay you want..
You look like a kid in Christmas night opening the presents 😊😊😊
