Practice-Based Evaluation of the Hi-Audio Platform

In February and March 2026, nine performers from the Female Laptop Orchestra (FLO) used the Hi-Audio web platform (hiaudio.fr) to record the source tracks of a collaborative composition, which was then mixed offline for the Radiophrenia 2026 festival broadcast. Two documents report on that evaluation.
