Fabfilter timeless tutorial full#

I strongly suggest watching the Timeless 3 overview video on FabFilter’s website, as it’s beyond the scope of this review to capture the full gamut.

You can get extremely deep with this plug-in – a sound designer’s dream for sure – and it’s easy to see that FabFilter has spent a lot of time making it as intuitive as possible. You can modulate and effect nearly any parameter on the GUI with LFOs, envelope generators and followers, XY controllers, MIDI sources, and more. Timeless 3 also offers improvements to the modulation engine and filters, in ways similar to their distortion and saturation plug-in Saturn 2. Timeless 3 doesn’t have to be complicated per se (if you’re not looking to spend a lot of time crafting the delay of your dreams), but the ceiling for cooking up something spectacular is sky high. Like other newer FabFilter releases, Timeless 3 also offers various interface sizes and full-screen mode, which is impressive on larger monitors.īeyond the streamlined new look is the most intricate and powerful set of parameters I’ve ever seen in a delay plug-in.

Billed as an analog tape-style delay plug-in, Timeless 3 also touts improved sound quality, reminding me of the Master Tape setting in Soundtoys’ EchoBoy. Most noticeably, the upper left corner of the GUI displays a graphic representation of the delay you’re hearing, and allows you to click on any part of the tail and change the length and gain… it’s a really innovative and fun way to allow the user to dig in and start getting their hands virtually dirty. Timeless 3 features a totally redesigned GUI, bringing it in line with FabFilter’s other plug-ins – simple, sleek, and easy to navigate. With Timeless 3, FabFilter has done it again, pushing the boundaries of what’s both possible and expected in a delay plug-in. I’m used to thinking, “I didn’t know I needed that!” when watching their overview videos. FabFilter has a reputation for taking common effects plug-ins, such as compression and EQ, then elevating them to new, mind-blowing levels of utility and complexity.
