Could you build this?
Partial A basic DAW UI and playlist are vibe-codeable with Web Audio or a native audio framework. Reading FL Studio project files and delivering low-latency audio engine behavior are much harder.
What it would actually take: The UI and sequencing can be built with a stack such as JUCE, Tauri with a Rust audio engine, or Web Audio. Opening FL Studio .flp files requires reverse-engineering an undocumented, proprietary binary format, which takes specialized file-format and audio DSP expertise. Matching FL's workflow and sample-accurate timing also demands real audio engineering experience.
