Could you build this?
No Intercepting per-process audio without a virtual audio driver and applying real-time multi-band EQ requires deep low-level macOS CoreAudio DSP engineering and non-public OS audio taps.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires native C++/Swift engineering hooking into macOS CoreAudio using private audio tap SPIs or process-isolated ScreenCaptureKit audio taps. The raw PCM streams must be processed on real-time, non-blocking audio threads through an 8-band biquad/IIR filter DSP engine and routed to CoreAudio output hardware units without introducing audible latency or system instability.
