Could you build this?
Partial LUFS and true-peak metering follow the ITU-R BS.1770 spec, which AI can help implement. Shipping VST3, AU, AAX, and CLAP plugins with native Apple Silicon builds, signing, and notarization still requires audio plugin expertise, and AAX requires Avid developer access.
What it would actually take: The stack would use C++ with JUCE or a similar plugin framework, DSP code for loudness and metering, and a GUI for the meter views. The hard parts are the multi-format plugin SDKs (especially AAX, which requires Avid developer approval), real-time-safe audio code, and macOS/Windows code signing and notarization, which calls for an audio DSP and plugin engineer.
