Description
Sonnex is a macOS DAW built around a more direct music-making workflow. Instead of constantly jumping between separate windows and panels, the goal is to keep the tools you need close at hand in one unified workspace. Record, edit, work with MIDI, instruments, effects and mixing tools without getting lost in the interface. Built independently and still evolving based on real user feedback.

Could you build this?
No Building a digital audio workstation (DAW) requires low-latency real-time C++/DSP engineering, CoreAudio drivers, lock-free concurrency, and complex plugin hosting standards (AU/VST3).
What it would actually take: A production DAW requires C++ using frameworks like JUCE or native CoreAudio/AudioToolbox. The system requires hard real-time scheduling guarantees, lock-free audio ring buffers, sample-accurate MIDI sequencing, robust AU/VST3 sandboxing, and custom digital signal processing algorithms. This demands deep specialized expertise in systems programming and digital signal processing.
