Could you build this?
Partial Building low-latency macOS system audio capture and custom DSP filtering alongside 40 high-performance, real-time 60fps Metal/GLSL generative shader scenes requires specialized graphics and audio engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native Swift macOS/iOS application interfacing with ScreenCaptureKit and CoreAudio HAL for system audio loopback, passing buffers through an Accelerate/vDSP pipeline for real-time FFT frequency binning. The rendering layer needs a custom Metal/MetalKit engine executing complex fragment and compute shaders (such as raymarching and fluid dynamics) that react to audio bands without dropping frames. The hard parts are writing dozens of aesthetically sophisticated shaders and maintaining zero-latency audio analysis without high CPU/GPU battery drain.
