Could you build this?
No Building a full-fledged native macOS DAW requires real-time low-latency CoreAudio DSP, custom multi-track scheduling, and complex non-destructive Git-like branching/merging of large binary audio data.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/Objective-C/C++ with AVFoundation and CoreAudio real-time rendering pipelines operating on isolated audio threads. The branching model requires a bespoke version-controlled project structure using Git LFS or a custom content-addressable storage engine capable of non-destructive audio edits and three-way timeline merging. Building this necessitates deep expertise in real-time digital signal processing, lock-free concurrency, and audio engineering workflows.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
