Please add your Facebook user name here.

Obviously, I'm on Facebook and really love it. I also like the PG Forum members. I've learned that you can often get to know your virtual friends even better by also meeting them online in other places (that's not cheating now, is it lol).

My Facebook name is:

Joseph Videtto -- from Suny Downstate; you'll see a picture of me and my wife with Elvis between us lol. We met this Elvis in Las Vegas long after the King's death.

another way to accomplish the same thing is to watch the posts on PGMusic's FB page. You will recognize some of the names as forum members. Just click on their name and make a friend request.

Hey - I've sent friend requests to all of you. When you make virtual friends - doing so around a common interest is one of the best ways to do it (common enemy too - but that's another conversation lol).


I've learned that having a picture of the person in mind with respect to the posts I read makes a big difference - as well as reading about the details of their personal lives and views that they care to make public.

There have been lots of criticisms of the "Internet" and "excessive screen time" hurting and discouraging live human interaction - and obviously there is no replacement (kind of like live music) - but the interactions that take place on this forum - and also Facebook at times, depending - truly fill a human need for social interaction and meaningful relationships in a way that I think still under-apprieciated and under-utlized. Surprisingly deep and meaningful relationships can happen virtually when the medium is used the right way for this type of thing.

I remember a similar post a year or 2 ago regarding Facebook was met by much resistance - some members commenting that don't use it, don't like it, and don't want any part of it....to each his own of course - but I'll bet those people never really tried it and only read about how "people post what they are doing at every second and who really cares"...well, that does happen too - and I don't stay friends with those types - or at least I block them. Eventually social media conventions and comments reduce that kind of behavior.

Thanks Peter for bringing all these great people together on an amazing website and an amazing product - not only have you made my music life more interesting, you've indirectly (or directly, that is) created many meaningful virtual relationships of friendship - some have even traveled to meet in person. Who would have imagined....

I think Linked IN and Twitter also amazing sites to meet people with common interests - as well as Meetup.com - which combines virtual discover with real-live meetings - again, no replacement for live interactions.

What other websites do you participate in that have helped you discover new virtual friends and meaningful relationships with them ?

My facebook page

I find fb to be extremely transient compared to forums. A fb post can be deeply buried in a matter of minutes dependent upon traffic at the time. I don't think it promotes in-depth discussion; however, Janice and I are members but our posts are not particularly related to our music endeavors.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
