Creating networked musical performance app, simple enough to build alone or hire a Dev company?

Hi all,

First of all, I was confused as to whether this was better suited for WebDev or SoftwareDev, so I apologize if this is not the right place.

I recently set out to create a web app (OSX based, at least initially), that aims to connect musicians for a networked musical performance. I have found both audio and video tech out there that should be suitable for the low-latency requirements, and figure that what remains is crafting the app that integrates those platforms and a webpage that runs/downloads the app. There would be some standard functionality beyond connecting for the video session, such as accounts (connected via E-mail, maybe social media if that integration isn't too complex), session length restrictions, in-session ad banners, and a subscription option to do away with the two former. I feel this is the bare-bones for my minimal viable product, with the exception of maybe doing away with accounts/subscriptions should they be to much for my current capabilities/budget.

That being said, I am no professional web developer. I do however have an aptitude for learning these things in a timely manner, and if the described app doesn't sound absolutely herculean as far as a determined novice is concerned, I would love it I can save my already minimal-of-minimal budget from going towards a development company, in case everything doesn't pan out. Does this sound reasonable, or should I bite that very expensive bullet?

If I may go a step further, I don't know if what I described is enough to suss this out, but if anyone has any pointers as to specific languages, development processes, etc. to research and learn to create such an app, it would be greatly appreciated.
