Could you build this?

No Building a local, offline audio stem separation app requires deep expertise in digital signal processing and optimizing deep neural networks on Apple Silicon.

What it would actually take: A viable version requires converting and quantizing state-of-the-art audio separation models (such as Demucs, MDX-Net, or Roformer) to CoreML and Apple Metal Performance Shaders for low-latency local execution. The pipeline requires high-performance audio I/O using CoreAudio, performing short-time Fourier transforms (STFT), running batched chunked model inference without memory leaks, and reconstructing Phase/STFT audio stems back to WAV. This requires specialized deep learning audio engineering and low-level macOS system programming.
