Could you build this?
Partial Building a simple UI wrapper on macOS is easy, but implementing a production-grade digital signal processing (DSP) clipper audio algorithm with anti-aliasing and zero-latency AU/VST architecture is not.
What it would actually take: A commercial audio plugin requires C++ using the JUCE framework or native CoreAudio/AudioUnits SDK. The hard parts are writing low-latency digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms with oversampling and anti-aliasing filters (e.g., minimum phase IIR/polyphase FIR) to avoid harsh digital distortion artifacts. This necessitates specialized audio engineering and DSP mathematics expertise.
