Despite only joining AudioJungle last month, MichaelKakhiani has immediately caught the attention of both customers and the AudioJungle community with an outstanding collection of impressive uploads to AudioJungle. In particular, his ear for classical composition is quite stunning as demonstrated by several tracks in Michael’s full audio portfolio. But classical music is not the only genre Michael excels at. His portfolio also features a professional collection of corporate/motivational tracks that inspire listeners.
Here are some highlights from MichaelKakhiani’s portfolio:

What’s an “API”? A Pink Igloo? A Pig Itching? Not quite.
The Marketplace’s Application Programming Interface (API) allows the development of applications with access to a range of data from all the marketplaces such as the most popular and latest files. More sensitive data such as your account balance, recent sales, and monthly statements can also be accessed securely using your individual API key!
So what? I’m a designer – why should I be interested in geeky code interface stuff? Well, using the API you can develop apps/sites for your mobile, your desktop, or even your blog. Did I mention you can even design and style your applications however you want? Now that’s pretty cool, right?!
Since the Marketplace API was released about 6 months ago, several authors have jumped in feet first to develop some outstanding contributions for the community.
Let’s see what’s been going on…

The last 9 months we’ve been working hard on the financial parts of our system. During this time we’ve been building a better, more bulletproof accounting system into the app. It’s the kind of super important work that for the most part nobody notices, but ensures everything is working as it should. Along the way we’ve also been working on some other aspects which WILL be noticeable, and I’d like to tell you about three of them:

Video games are are addictive and popular. My son put on a graduation party last week that went all night and there were still around 30 kids at our house the next day. What were they doing? Playing Guitar Hero on our Xbox.
Is anyone in the AudioJungle community just as addicted? Or are you too busy making real music?
Guitar Hero is a game first published in 2005, available for the PlayStation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii (depending on the version), as well as Mac and Windows PCs. The different games come with controllers that act as guitars, drums and microphones. A game for keyboard players is planned for the future. (more…)
