Could you build this?

Partial While a file upload portal is trivial, building a cloud-based automated mastering engine that delivers broadcast-standard speech audio (dynamic EQ, LUFS normalization, adaptive breath removal) requires specialized DSP knowledge.

What it would actually take: A production version requires an audio processing pipeline built in C++ or Python (using librosa, PyTorch, and FFmpeg bindings) running on containerized worker queues (Celery/AWS Batch). The difficult part is the DSP and acoustic ML models: speech-specific spectral subtraction, dynamic multi-band expansion, adaptive de-essing/breath suppression, and precise EBU R128 loudness gating without introducing audio artifacts. Building this requires specialized digital signal processing (DSP) and audio machine learning engineering.
