"That's all for now" - the saddest part of every Dan Worrall tutorial

[@Clayfacer]

imagine how sick it would be if fabfilter made a DAW that also included with all the updated fabfilter plugins as stock. a man can dream, right?

[@JohnCardona]

I'm confident a fabfilter DAW would be absolutely game-changing!

[@iainmackenzieUK]

i would ned it to be reaper-like though...

[@captainbrainless]

I know it's not Fabfilter, but Bitwig is definitely speaking a similar language. They both make good friends.

[@exshenanigan2333]

Not sure if I'm happier about finally getting standard FabFilter interface for the Timeless or about hearing Dan Worrall after a long while.

[@rpgaleksy]

Never knew exactly how to use Timeless 2 because it seemed to bloated and confusing, but now that Timeless 3 is out some of my other delay plugins will bite the dust for sure. Great job!

[@atuanoiniin]

Same here. After seeing this review and soon after purchasing the 3 things have changed immensely.

[@lordgeyik]

Dan's voice sounds huskier in this one. His Attenboroughification is developing. Just like wine, gets even better with time.

[@scottiescott9297]

With Fabfilter, there are so many sound design possibilities that you can do almost anything and it’ll sound good as long as it challenges boundaries, makes musical sense and sits well within the mix. Opening a Fabfilter plugin on a track or group of tracks, for me, is like being a kid in a candy store❤

[@elblopex]

that pitch knob is worth the entire update. Magical.

[@blkbird]

Reminds me of Clearmountain’s Domain, which is great, because that plugin costs $350.

[@fretbite]

It's good to hear from you again Mr. Worrall, thankyou for enlightening my producer's journey!

[@illywhackerDJ]

Just when I told myself that I don't need any more delay/reverb/eq/compressor/saturation plugins after upgrading to Saturn 2, Fabfilter come along and release this beauty. I loved the sound of Timeless 2, especially the saturation caused by extreme feedback, but I never gelled with its interface and the lack of a ping-pong mode (even though you could still get a ping-pong-like result) bugged me. I found myself using Waves H-Delay the most over the years, and more recently, Arturia's delay plugs. I'd only turn to Timeless 2 if I wanted something more experimental. The moment Dan used Timeless 3 as a reverb-like effect on that sawtooth convinced me to check out my FF account to see what the price is like with FF's loyalty discount! As it turns out, I DO need another delay plug-in...

[@KeithMuirMusic]

8:15 What!!!! Awesome! You guys killed it as always Seeing how you constantly improve and innovate makes me even more excited for the next Pro MB and hopefully an ultimate fabfilter synth ;)

ok this is the 3rd video im watching in a row from FF and im srsly gettin mind-blown by the sheer amount of possibilities i have in producing with these plugins ... wow

[@gazmellen7881]

Just as excited to watch Dan in action as the plug-in he is demonstrating, NICE job all round!!! Now a complex version PLEASE!!!

[@SivertHenriksen]

Dammit, I wasn't going to get this plugin because I thought Valhalla Delay had covered all my needs. But the Tap editor and the flexible filtering options sold me!

[@cfs]

I'm trying out T3. I think it's more of a replacement for XT, whereas it would compliment Valhalla Delay and/or Echoboy. I find Delay to be super easy to create basic and moderately complex delays (I LOVE the new Quartz mode!), but do see myself eventually getting T3 for the creative delays, replacing D16 Tekturon, for example. I think that, outside of specific tape emulations, a combo of T3 and either Delay or Echoboy would pretty much cover 95% of delay needs.

[@Breakbeat90s]

@@cfs whats XT? but yeah i feel like this + valhalla are my default delays now

[@djsreja1]

@@cfs can you tell me what does Valhalla Delay offer you that this one doesn't?

[@cfs]

@@djsreja1 The number one thing is fast ease of use for basic delay functions. Valhalla Delay resizes text not just some UI elements and the background (Fabfilter's customer resizing is pretty good but falls a little short of what I'd consider to be actual resizing). The second thing is quick emulation methods - Valhalla Delay it's easy to choose to sound like tape, or a BBD, etc, whereas with T3 you have to architect it and save as a preset and then tweak. Valhalla Delay is like an amazing Delay pedal - few options to tweak at any given time, but always sounds good and interesting. T3 is, to me, akin to synths with lots of modulation and other options that really lets you dive deep and explore new worlds. Those aren't the synths I usually turn to when I just want to turn or push a few things and get some great sound. Different goals, different modes of operation. Don't get me wrong - I still bought Timeless3 last night :-) I also moved XT into my Less Used sub-folder in my Delays top-level folder, leaving, unsurprisingly, only Valhalla Delay and Timeless3 as my main delays I'll turn to first.

[@cfs]

@@Breakbeat90s Replika XT. An excellent delay in itself.

[@tylerkennedy4203]

Soooooo cool legit could not imagine working on songs without fabfilter and this looks like it's gonna be a work horse

God damn! Dan always makes the best plugin walkthroughs, but the demo track was just insanely ethereal! Very nice!

[@MangoOverload91]

Haven't even used it yet but this video shows so much promise. Sounds like I don't need another delay plug in... Adding body to the snare with the snapback was genius, it sounded like snare wire

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

[@60secmusic96]

Dan Worral, you really nail the Tutorials! Is that your music? Pretty jazzy and modern sounds, i love it!

[@intheblink]

Been awaiting this video! Despite already being very happy with Echoboy and ValhallaDelay, I had to grab this one. The interface and workflow leads to very wild and interesting sounds. It is something unique. I love the two previously mentioned for going crazy with traditional delays and a bit of experimental stuff with Valhalla, but Timeless 3 feels like something new.

[@coversauce4786]

I was frustrated coming from timeless 2. But all my questions answered and more. Holy …. This is amazing

I really wanted to keep my money but now i have to get this and the new Volcano thanks to you!

[@nickneek]

Bought the iOS version a month ago but haven’t had a chance to really play. Watching this has really made me want to dig into it this week.

[@Accoy2]

Thank you Fabfilter for another amazing, out of the box tool. I will finally make a "ball bounce" effect in a glimpse of an eye with this new "taps" and modulation parameters! I always dreamed of a delay like this!!! :-) Oh and Dan, you are the best in business mate! Thank you all!

[@dopebossboi157]

THANK YOU!!! TNice tutorials is such an amazing tutorial. I just got soft soft today and was playing around on it but had no clue how to really use it.

[@OVXX666]

WOW the pitch shift sounds awesome

[@atakansarpunmusic]

Wow, the interface looks great! It became very easy to use. It was really looking overwhelming in Timeless 2, which was the main reason i didnt wanna use it. Thanks for improving the interface, can't wait to try T3 !!

[@cmd_f5]

Recently getting into more Fab stuff, and this is just so flexible. The pitch can be used for pleasant shimmers and drifting. Diffusion is also a nice touch.

[@nyanko2077]

I can imagine the devs at fabfilter before handing over the plugin to Dan: "Should we show him the Instability slider?" and everyone looking at everyone else with a grin on their face.

[@Musecrafter]

Every time I watch one of Dan’s videos I know it’s going to cost me money but it makes me feel intelligent when I do. Then, after downloading it and playing with it I realize it was an intelligent buy. Dan, you are simply the best! (and most expensive Ytuber!) 😁

[@TazzSmk]

thanks for keeping video simple and comprehensible, much appreciated! :)

[@chandeleerjet5637]

I was thinking I won’t need this because of cubase MultiTap delay but the GUI is beautiful and all the visual helpers. I love how serious they take the visuals it really helps with how my brain works.

[@LoveMeBack]

Fab and Dan....a match made in heaven. Now please release a extensive analyzer plugin in Fabfilter fashion.

[@hOttOddYfAiLz]

Omg that sound coming from Twin 2 was unbelievable. Wow! So much ❤️. Felt like I was watching Blade Runner.

[@Zegmaar_Bas]

Aaaah, yes, this is exactly what I needed! I have the Fab Filter Reverb plugin, and that's nice, but mostly when you want to imitate an actual room. When I just wanted a clean reverb like a beat FX on a DJ Mixer I found it Pro-R very difficult to produce that. Now it looks like there is a plugin that can give me that effect and also gives me all the buttons I would need to tweak it! Really nice!

[@ndwknss]

brand new to all the fabfilter plugins, just bought the entire suite!. There is a lot to learn, loving it though!

[@CaseySabol]

Great video...without even mentioning the ducking feature. As someone who can't explain why I hate using a send to sidechain my ambiences, I immensely appreciate the ducking feature.

[@Zarabozo]

I hope they're paying Dan Worrall the big bucks. He always makes me want to buy the product. I first saw him in a UVI demo. He's just amazing at demo'ing plugins.

[@illywhackerDJ]

So, as an update from my earlier comment, I upgraded from Timeless 2 to Timeless 3 with my Fabfilter loyalty discount (£32, quality, can't argue with that price). I always loved the sound of Timeless 2, but hated the interface and usually opted for my other delays that had a dedicated Ping-Pong mode. For my main delay 'go-to' plug-ins, I was using Waves H-Delay and Arturia's '3 Delays You'll Actually Use' bundle. All of which sound good, but I was always left wanting for more sound-wise (like, the tonality of the sound, nothing appealed to me more than Timeless 2's sound, especially the saturation on the extreme feedback settings). Of course, this all boils down to preference and opinion, each to their own. I can safely say, Timeless 3 is the upgrade I have been waiting for. The new interface is so much easier to get on with and quicker to get my desired results (though there's more depth for sound design if you decide to dive in, but it's all tucked away nicely if you're just wanting to slap a quick delay on and not focus on the deeper side of the plug), and life is good now that there is a dedicated Ping-Pong mode. I honestly think that every other delay plug-in I own is now redundant. Timeless 3 sounds phenomenal. Good effort, Fabfilter!

[@fabfilter]

Wow… thanks!! 🙏

[@Ksjskalkwvshwjwvqnam]

Thanks! The third version of the plugin became many times better than the second: the second seemed too complicated and confusing; and the third is striking in its convenience and clarity, like all other Fabfilter plugins. Waiting for Twin 3🤘

[@KayjaxMusic]

[@AironExTv]

Nice intro. This gave me a good idea on what I could use this plugin for and just what a creative smash it can be. I used to think orange squash is all I wanted, but along comes Sound Toys, then Valhalla Delay and now this to introduce an endless combinations of flavours. Purple, alien jungle juice that turns in to cola flavour if I look at it from another angle. Haven't we come a long way.

[@andrescoca983]
