fx to dll conversion

[geky]

Hi, I have a maybe crazy question, can the fx file from a daw be transformed into a dll file? I like the reverb from mixcraft 10 but it doesn't have dll files, they are fx files and I can't load them into cubase.

In a word, no.

Unless the DAW maker has released the internal plugins as externally available files, they will forever remain 'inside your DAW'.

If you want to go super-advanced, you could capture the reverb using impulse response techniques, and import it into your favourite IR reverb, but if the reverb has modulation/movement, you'll lose that feature of the sound.

thanks for the answer and clarification

Even if the plugin were implemented as a DLL, it wouldn't help you in the slightest. The native plugin ABI for any given DAW (Steinberg aside) is completely custom to the DAW itself. They are not VSTs.

I think mostly Reaper only has that function with ReaJS via a VST bridge plugin.

Nope. There's an entirely separate bundle of VST version of some of reaper's internal plugins, including ReaJS, but it hasnt been updated since 2016.

I asked a dev about this before
They are vst, but in a wrapper for that specific host

That doesnt quite make sense, no 'wrapper' is needed, as a VST plugin can already check what host its running in, so only run on specific hosts. Cakewalk used to do that.
In fact, if a developer is making any cross-platform plugin, its likely to be that the actual core code of the plugin is in 'wrapper' to package it as a VST2, VST3, AAX, AU etc.

I think I remember trying this before and it didn't work. It was some other DAW specific FX and I wanted it to work in FL. Sometimes I've had luck changing the extension, but never for software. You'll get a bunch of warnings, but it won't transfer the effect to another DAW. We need a new DAW for that. We'll call it ModulDAW.

It's what I was told. If was a long time ago, and wasn't cross platform. I'm not a dev/coder.

ReaJS is just the loader, it can load up ReaPack repositories that are always getting updated with effects.
This is aimed at the OP, nor is the information aimed at you.
Gatekeep and troll else where.

Irrelevant to what I said. The plugin version of ReaJS is entirely separate from the internal version, and has not been updated since 2016.

My post was aimed at the OP, correcting the misinformation created by you. Whine and troll elsewhere.

whyterabbyt I never spoke you you, this is none of you business, it is towards the OP helping them out.
Contract me via DM if you wish to speak to me.
What is irrelevant is your opinion regarding my posts as they not addressed to you, this is your last warning.

Irrelevant, this is a public forum. You dont get to dictate who I can respond to or how.

You were incorrect, and corrections are what happen when that occurs on a public forum. Deal with it.

this is your last warning.

Is that a threat? You're funny.
