Could you build this?
Partial The band collaboration UI, versioning, and cloud sync of songs are vibe-codeable. A real DAW needs a low-latency audio engine, plugin hosting, and reliable sync of large audio files, which take serious audio and systems expertise.
What it would actually take: Build on Web Audio or a native layer (JUCE, Rust/C++ audio) for recording and playback, with a cloud store (S3-style object storage) plus a versioning layer for stems and project files. The hard parts are sample-accurate timing, latency, and conflict-free revision merging of audio sessions. This needs audio-engineering knowledge and real-world testing with varied hardware.
