Go on then. If it's that easy, do it, sell it for 1/10th of the cost and make millions.

Quite a few bugs once you get into it. Not surprising! But a pretty good visual clone (at least) clone thus far.

We're trying to build DAWs in ArtCraft. Folks are working on apps inspired by FL Studio and Pro Tools.

This stuff is extremely hard and it's going to take quite a long time to get even close to functional.

These apps are far more than just their UI/UX. The audio drivers alone for real time audio present an incredible challenge.

We're not building this in a week, let alone a month or several months.

As someone who has been working on a vibe-coded DAW (and keeping an eye on a bunch of others), no you absolutely cannot.
