Did you have a song posted RodM? Is the link still working? It doesn't appear they picked and chose through them from Peters description. Did you use any PGMusic Products on the song and describe how?
Otherwise you should have been in the list I would assume. Oversight? Possible.

Hi Bob,

I'm sorry I sounded "hurt" on earlier post. I now realize they went through the older posts, not the brand new user forum songs. After listening to all the incredible talent on the listed genres, I certainly wouldn't blame BIAB for showcasing the best songs. The trouble with that is, they all sound great to me. How would you choose?
I had a bunch of older songs using BIAB, but I quickly took them down because I didn't think my songs were good enough to post so BIAB would have seen a broken link on those songs. I have some new Christmas songs using BIAB Midi and real tracks "A BIAB Christmas".
Any way I agree with Ian too. There is an incredible amount of talent using an phenomenal product (BIAB). I know I am grateful to have such a good product. For me, this is the only software where every upgrade is a "must have".

Thanks,
RodM

I am a living example of a small flaw in the logic. One song listed was housed at Soundcloud but has been taken down. Do we have an "update" process so we can avoid people going to apparently broken links when the song was taken down on purpose?

But a GREAT idea and we all appreciate the shortcut to listening to other user's work.

RodM
I think they went through the songs in this forum section, so if posted in another forum section they likely weren't included.

I wonder the same thing as Eddie. Since these links rely on songs existing on the user's server, can they be editable so as to keep them live in the event of the user changing severs? Maybe allowing the original poster some edit options later.. I'd like that.

You folks just keep making the site better and better.

Hi,
To echo everyone else: "An upgrade process to edit a link after the fact would be a great feature."
Bob,
I also noticed the incredible amount of work it took to put the user showcase list together. I don't think genre was listed on many of the original posts, but I guess the real tracks or midi tracks used would indicate genre. I did post my songs in this forum but it's really OK. I think the user showcase list of songs is current up to a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I'll make the next list. That is of course if I don't lose my nerve and hurry and delete my soundclick account. Nobody (except my wife) knows I'm into music anymore. It is a big step for me personally to post music public. I hope to rediscover a love of music I once had in my youth. I guess that is something I can still do privately too.
Thanks again,
RodM

This is awesome... just now found this - rather, paid attention to this post. LOL!

Great stuff to listen to indeed

Thumbs up, Peter and PG Team!!

Happy Turkey Day to all of you

Cheers,

Hi,
We've updated the list, to list songs that are newest and use lots of RealTracks/RealBand or BB in general nearest the top. Also added a tab called RealTracks that has songs that use lots of RealTracks.

This should be stickied to the top of the page !

I agree Tommyc

Ditto.

Splendid initiative Peter, for which many thanks.

I wonder if there isn't a problem though. When I sort alphabetically by artist I'm getting one alphabetical run down from 90DB down to Zan Cantwell and then a second from airtcon-161 down to ve2cjw.

What would be the reason for this and is it something that it would be easy for you to correct?

Best regards,

Marc

>>> What would be the reason for this and is it something that it would be easy for you to correct?

It is case-sensitive, so it is showing A-Z, and then a-z. I agree that this doesn't make much sense, I'll ask the web designers, if there's a way around it.

Thank you Marc, this is fixed now.

At last! I've made a small but meaningful contribution to this site!
Thanks Peter, Andrew!

Marc

Only 3 of my songs listed, obviously some criteria being applied....??

The list has been updated to Jan 9, 2012 (previously was current to Nov. 1, 2011)

Andrew, it probably slipped through the net because I changed the link during the thread, I guess you are checking only the first post in a thread. Here it is -

Let me Know

Great, thanks. The first link in your post is now updated so that it works...

Awesome list of song.I really liked it.

Missing song of mine: "Lost On The Breeze":
http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=288710&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1
Missed because of the link being broken for some reason.
The link should be:
http://www.johnsongs.com/page41.html

Thanks!

Hello John

Link changed.

Instead of a link to the thread that contains the link to the song, maybe a link to the song itself would be more user friendly; clicking a thread, then backing up to the original post with the actual song link can be tedious.
Example- a thread four pages long won't show the original link if the thread opens on page 4, so the user has to go back through the thread looking for the link. The longer this waits to change, the more work it'll be later.


Just an idea.

I can't open any of the links to the songs in the songlist
http://www.pgmusic.com/user-showcase/?genre=jazz
All the links send me to the Forum list page.

Perhaps this related to the change in the format of the forums?

Yes it is, and it should be working again within a day or two.

I'm quite flattered that my "Sarnia" made the list! However that particular mix is no longer linked. I have a re-mixed an edited version here:

The list is updated and current to January 15, 2015

Sort by artist to see songs by one specific person.

Great list!!!

Wow! Thanks to whoever did the work to make this sortable list happen!! This will come in handy!

That's what I'm talking about.... nice job.

Now... if you keep it updated on a weekly basis ......


Now.... it would be nice to have a filter or search function so one could narrow the list to a specific forum member's tunes....

Hey Peter,

I am a recent poster, feverish RB and BIAB fan and a Regional Coordinator for the Nashville Songwriters Association. Many of the songs on the link below including the top six on the list include an extensive use of Real Tracks and BIAB, along with my own playing and singing. The comment I made in my post is that a Nashville veteran asked me what studio in town I used to record them and I thought that was funny. I told a PG staffer and I think it made his day. I love your tools. Feel free to add the top six in this list plus Harbor Me, When the World was Real and Mary's Place to your list if you want because they were all done on a real band bed. Cheers.

I would like to make available the 150 original songs I wrote and recorded. All were written and arranged with the benefit of Band-in-a-Box over the last 18 years. I highlight one song The Trail Of Tears the first song at http://www.heartrockmusic.com/SongsOfTheMonth/album_month.html I used pnomood style,added my vocal, used the audio harmony function and finalized the song in Cakewalk. Most recently I upgraded my album dedicated to the environment: http://www.heartrockmusic.com/album_earth/album_earth.html Finally if you enjoy history I've an album dedicated to events of historical significance, at: http://www.heartrockmusic.com/album_history/album_history.html Again, all were made possible by BIAB with its impressive features, Needless to say I am a big fan and look forward to further upgrades. I haven't missed an upgrade for all those 18 years.

Wow, after going through all the posts in this thread, I think I'm starting to see why my latest entry didn't make the cut even if it was submitted before the latest update

i would suggest a search by date option and a date posted column

this may highlight the advances in biab\rb as well as demonstrate that even with earlier versions great songs were produced

it could also inspire folks to thinks about redoing their earlier songs using the newer features

humm could be a contest idea there "best user showcase redux" ???????????????????????????

Some pretty neat ideas there

What a wonderful company PG is to have an annual award like this.
Many Congrats to all the winners!
