No A modular DAW needs a real-time audio engine, DSP, plugin hosting (VST3/CLAP), MIDI, and a sophisticated UI, all tuned for low latency. That is a multi-year effort requiring specialized audio-engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack is a Rust audio engine on a lock-free real-time thread with cpal or JACK backends, a graph-based DSP processing core, and plugin hosting via CLAP or VST3 bindings. It also needs a timeline, a sequencer, file I/O, and a GUI. The hard parts are latency-safe real-time design, plugin compatibility, and DSP quality, which need experienced audio developers and sustained effort.
