Maybe cost? Maybe bc I have 23 other delay plugins?! However I now wish I would have gotten sooner! Great sound! I cannot stand some reverbs, delays, and flanger/phasers bc of the digital harsh cold sound that a lot of these plugins produce! But this sounds WARM, that odd sizzle that comes from a lot of digital plugins is NOT A PART OF THIS SOUND!!! Love the sound that this thing! Love the looks, love the way it feels in the mix, love the user interface! Much Love! One thing I hate is there is separate apps for Mac/iPad and none for iPhone! I like to take my daw Cubasis and listen to the mix while I commute in my car. I find it’s the BEST place to listen as a listener not an engineer!!! But I cannot with Fabfilters apps bc there are NO iPhone compatible Fabfilter apps!! ### 3/5 — Great sound but.. *2023-07-08, version 3.03* I’m really happy with how good all the fabfilter apps sounds BUT they’ve been quite lazy and not optimised them for iPad. Could do with the controls being made larger. When they do that I’ll give them 5 stars but for now it’s 3 stars ### 4/5 — Top plug with annoying issue… *2023-04-11, version 3.03* It‘s all great, but while porting to iOS no one seemed to have thought about that d*amned option menu, where it says serial, parallel and per channel which CONSTANTLY blocks the view and touch on eq nodes which are down in the spectrum!!! Please put it somewhere else, but NOT directly on our EQ spectrum…can‘t believe it. We should also be able to "tap away" the infoboxes easily, when a node of the eq is selected. Third are the little X-es of the assigned operators/effectors, they're way too hard to hit, exactly. Please make the windows more horizontal and the X-es bigger, it's often hard to see, what's going on as well. The best eq reverb delay multi fx together with Other Desert Cities and Yukawa. P.s.: The pitch shift is extremely weak, I wish it would be better... ### 5/5 — Comfort-Zone *2021-08-23, version 3.01* Ich bin auf dem Mac langjähriger Benutzer und Fan von Timeless (seit V2). Die iOS-Version steht dem in nix nach. Wer auf dem iPad Musik produziert (und sei es nur, um Skizzen/Ideen festzuhalten) sollte dieses Plugin ernsthaft in Erwägung ziehen. Es bringt den Sound enorm nach vorne. Man ist direkt in dieser speziellen warmen Echo-Comfort-Zone. Timless-User wissen vermutlich, was ich meine. Einzige Verbesserungsmöglichkeit: Ein paar mehr Presets wären schön gewesen. ### 5/5 — Top *2021-07-31, version 3.01* Delay qui au final tourne au multi effet, transforme une source sonore basique en instrument original. Bravo ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2021-06-29, version 3.00* Love fab filter apps. This is my favourite delay on iOS . I have struggled with delay apps pretty much got them all and never really found one I really liked until now. Timeless 3 landed and well this is the only delay I need ,properly impressed with this one. Well worth the asking price ### 5/5 — Top class *2021-06-02* Ah, finally. Been looking forward to this for years. And on iOS too! You won’t find a better sounding plug-in out there. Excellent for basics, even more excellent for wild experimentation. Took a couple days to adjust to the new GUI, but this and Saturn 2 are some fine-looking and great sounding plugs. Just get the good stuff from the start since it’s now available. No reason to end up buying 7 $4 delays and still not being satisfied. ### 5/5 — Just Wow! *2021-05-27, version 3.00* While recognising that this common word is generally used out of context, I have to say, this is awesome. Much more than I hoped for and so much easier to use than its predecessor. Its going to take me a few years to use half of this apps potential but the things that Ive always wished I could do with a “delay” Im dialing in without much thought. Thank you fabfilter for releasing your stuff on the iPad. ### 5/5 — First *2021-05-27, version 3.00* Rien d’autre à dire que Fabfilter=PRO. Des plug-ins de pros sur IPad que j’utilisais sur mon pc il y a déjà une quinzaine d’années. Mais là c’est la version 3 de Timeless, à peine sorti deux semaines après la version desktop. La Delay a l’air encore plus versatile que les versions précédentes. Je cours tester et je termine de vous donner mon avis. Mais si vous avez besoin d’une Delay n’hésitez pas foncez !. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-05-27* Just buy it. This plugin is a must have. ## Frequently asked questions about FabFilter Timeless 3 ### What is FabFilter Timeless 3?
