We’ve started a Video Testimonial project, and need your help… We’re seeking video testimonials from Band-in-a-Box users like YOU (the customer)! If you’re video is selected, we'll send you a Band-in-a-Box EverythingPAK!

Create a video testimonial that explains who you are and the kind of music you create.
Be sure to answer:

• What style of music do you prefer?

Other information you can include:

Interested until I got to this nugget! Why would PG require ownership of the video rather than just a license to use it?

Do I get a prize for having the idea?:-)

Yes, a license to use it would be fine.

JohnJohnJohn - we've adjusted our wording. Thank you for the feedback!

Peter, Callie,

Although not a video, take an ear squint at what our own Floyd Jane created with this marvelous software (User Showcase today). It doesn't get much better than that!

If you haven't made your Testimonial video and submitted it to us yet, there's still time!

Remember... you could win a Band-in-a-Box EverythingPAK!

Hi everyone,

Joanne has sent us some great footage, and we put together this video, highlighting Joanne's music and her use of Band-in-a-Box.

We'd love to make more of these, so feel free to send us similar video & audio!

Cheers,
Tobin

Here's a little addendum to that as well, if you're interested in sending us material for videos:

It can be pretty raw video, and we can edit it all up ourselves here.

A few things to keep in mind if you are interested in this:

1. If you're doing it in an "interview style", it's best to answer your questions with the question as PART of the answer. For example, if you're answering the question "What's your favorite feature in Band-in-a-Box", rather than launching into it saying something like "The guitar window, because...", for the purpose of the video it would be better to say "I think my favorite feature is the guitar window, because..."

2. Any audio you have is great. For example, if you were filming yourself recording a guitar solo into Band-in-a-Box, rather than just including the video file with the audio from that, it would be great to also include the actual recorded tracks and Band-in-a-Box files. That way we can sync them up and use the better recorded audio along with the video rather than using the audio recorded by the camera.

3. If you're able to shine a lamp or two directly at yourself when filming yourself talking, that makes for a much nicer looking resulting video.

That all being said, anything at all you send would be great, and we'd love to hear your stories and share them with the world!

Tobin
