Could you build this?
No The listing is a 'pre-configured' installer for a professional DAW, which is a repackaged copy of an existing audio application rather than a new product. Building a real DAW requires real-time low-latency audio engines and plugin architectures that vibe coding cannot produce.
What it would actually take: A real DAW needs a real-time audio engine with low-latency multithreaded processing, drivers and device I/O (ASIO/CoreAudio), a plugin host (VST/AU), and a mature DSP and MIDI stack. That is a multi-year effort for a team of audio and systems engineers. The scraped site has no product content beyond boilerplate.
