Why do you need to design the UI editor from scratch?

There is a very mature and stable software in this field - QtDesigner:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtdesigner-manual.html

And Qt is a leading UI toolkit, currently the best in the industry.

If some audio widgets are missing - it should be easy to add them
through a custom widget library.

But rewriting the whole thing - redesigning interfaces, signals,
callbacks, sizing policies, etc, etc - doesn't seem reasonable.
