FabFilter Timeless 3 is an AAX (and VST/AU/CLAP) audio plugin — a versatile, vintage-sounding tape delay effect for digital audio workstations. It offers 16 independently controllable delay taps, six analog-style filters, five creative effects (Drive, Lo-Fi, Diffuse, Dynamics, Pitch), mid/side processing, and a unique drag-and-drop modulation matrix with 50 slots. The plugin is used by music producers, engineers and sound designers working in Pro Tools and other DAWs to add rhythmic delays, tape saturation and creative modulation to tracks. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFabFilter Timeless 3 is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, not a standalone application — it must be updated through FabFilter's own installer. Download the latest version from fabfilter.com/download, run the installer, and follow the on-screen prompts to update all FabFilter plugins including Timeless 3. The installer will replace the Intel build with the native Apple Silicon version automatically. After installation, launch Pro Tools and rescan plugins (Pro Tools → Preferences → Plug-ins → Plug-in Manager, then re-scan) to register the updated native AAX plugin. Importantly, Pro Tools itself must be on a native build (Pro Tools 2023.6 or later) for AAX plugins to load; if you are on an older Pro Tools version, update Pro Tools first via Avid Application Manager before upgrading Timeless 3. The native Timeless 3 will work seamlessly alongside any existing presets and settings you have saved.
