is it possible to write a DAW (digital audio workstation) or VSTs with Nim? any audio software, in general

• nordaudio

  A wrapper around PortAudio

Yeah, you can use nordaudio which wraps PortAudio which has support for every major audio back-end. As for writing a VST you may have to find a way to wrap or interface with Steinberg's SDK. MIDI support is possible by using an RtMIDI wrapper, which I haven't linked because there are a few of them out there of varying quality and I don't know which is best because I just use ALSA directly for my purposes.

  VST 3 Plug-In SDK

• lv2

  2 - -

Maybe as a first project, you could try to implement just a LV2 plugin (basically like a VST) in Nim? LV2 examples are in C (https://gitlab.com/lv2/lv2/-/tree/master/plugins/eg-amp.lv2) so should be pretty straightforward to write in Nim (Nim compiles to C).
