Could you build this?
Partial The plugin UI, metering, and findings text are vibe-codeable with a framework like JUCE. The mix analysis needs audio DSP expertise, and the 40 genre profiles require a large reference corpus of professionally mixed tracks that a solo builder would not have.
What it would actually take: Build a VST3/AU plugin in C++ with JUCE, with real-time spectral, loudness, and stereo analysis on the master bus. The hard part is creating genre reference profiles from a curated corpus of licensed mixes and calibrating the scoring so findings are musically sensible. That requires audio engineers and mastering-grade reference data, plus cross-platform plugin signing and testing across DAWs.
