Could you build this?
Partial Building an iOS audio capture app is feasible, but real-time multi-channel 32-bit float audio streaming from class-compliant USB hardware demands low-level iOS audio programming.
What it would actually take: The app requires low-latency CoreAudio and AudioUnit programming in Swift/C++ to handle buffer synchronization, hardware USB audio interfacing, and non-blocking disk I/O without dropped frames. This requires specialized digital signal processing (DSP) and iOS audio hardware pipeline expertise.
