The Sacred Geometry Of Music The Sacred Geometry Of Music by Andrew Lorimer Music uses the laws of vibration to manifest aurally what exists at the center of everything.

Understanding Audio Interfaces: DACs, Bit Depth, Sampling Rate, Analog vs Digital | Dubspot What is a Digital Audio Interface? If you use your computer for music, DJing or audio creation, you’ve probably encountered digital audio interfaces. The digital audio interface translates binary information into audible information so you can hear it. A good audio interface is essential to producers for reference and for recording because most stock sound cards will not give you professional sound. Analog vs Digital Audio You’ve most likely encountered conversations regarding analog vs digital sound (vinyl vs MP3, for instance) - it’s a widely debated topic online and amongst music and audio enthusiasts.

TransportarOnline Raises Investment from Ex DHL Exec Latin American logistics and shipping marketplace TransportarOnline has received an undisclosed amount of angel investment from former DHL’s CEO for Global Customer Solutions, Hans Hickler, the company announced today. Previously known as MercadoTransporte, the online freight broker was one of the finalists at TNW Latin America Conference’s Startup Battle (see a video of their pitch). It was also during our event that the team met Hickler, who became an advisor to the company before investing in it. According to TransportarOnline CEO, Federico Vega, this contribution goes well beyond capital. Hickler’s investment comes in addition to the $185k seed capital that TransportarOnline had already received from NXTP Labs, Start-Up Chile, Fundación Chile and its own founders. TransportarOnline is still early-stage, and says that around 250 transactions have been completed on the platform since its launch in August 2012. Image credit: Thinkstock
