Could you build this?
No Creating a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) with real-time audio synthesis, low-latency DSP pipelines, and hundreds of automatable parameters requires deep specialized audio software engineering.
What it would actually take: Building a functional DAW requires C++ or Rust using low-level audio APIs (CoreAudio on macOS) with lock-free real-time audio threads to prevent buffer under-runs. It requires building or integrating a reliable audio engine (DSP, plugin hosting like VST/AU, MIDI sequencing, and time-stretching). Connecting an LLM assistant via IPC requires an extensive parameter mapping framework and real-time state synchronization that cannot be safely generated through high-level vibe coding.
