Could you build this?
No Building a cross-platform desktop multitrack DAW capable of low-latency recording, DSP noise repair, mixing effects, and 96 kHz export requires deep C++/audio DSP engineering.
What it would actually take: This requires a framework like JUCE or native C++ with low-latency audio backends (CoreAudio for macOS, ASIO/WASAPI for Windows). The hard parts are writing real-time audio threads that are lock-free and allocation-free, implementing spectral DSP algorithms for noise reduction, and managing complex multitrack waveform rendering without UI lag. AI coding assistants lack the deterministic domain knowledge required for complex DSP and non-blocking real-time multithreading.
