About

What is Hi-Audio Online Platform?

Hi-Audio Online Platform is an open-source, browser-based collaborative Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) designed to support multitrack music recording, annotation, and sharing for scientific research. No software installation is required. It allows users to:

• record and annotate multi-track compositions directly in the browser
• collaborate asynchronously — musicians at different locations record individual tracks independently and combine them into complete compositions
• browse and contribute to an open research database of music from a wide variety of styles and cultures, under Creative Commons licenses
• access metadata, analysis files, and audio tracks for scientific research and third-party integration

See the How-To section for more information. Hi-Audio Online Platform is free for non-commercial use.

Who is behind this site?

Hi-Audio Online Platform is hosted by IMT (Institut Mines-Telecom) at Telecom Paris, a founding member of Institut polytechnique de Paris, France. Currently it is being maintained and developed by the Hi-Audio team, which is composed of current researchers and students of the ADASP research group. Hi-Audio Online Platform is possible thanks to the support of Télécom Paris, who provides the needed hardware infrastructure to handle the site, and to the contributions of the Hi-Audio Online Platform users.

Funding

Hi-Audio, Hybrid and Interpretable Deep Neural Audio Machines, is a European Research Council "Advanced Grant" (AdG) project supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement-101052978.
