Oh my word!! shocked

I'm a Mac user so (having just seen the PC prize on your FB page) I was absolutely not expecting my name to be in there - This means so much to me, more than you could've known or imagined, and I'm truly, TRULY grateful to Master PG for this big gesture & recognition.

I'm simply "over the moon" with excitement and joy! crazy

p.s. And of course, congratulations to all the other artists (for that is what you are!) who made the list, most of whose work I've heard and loved every contribution. It is a privilege to be listed among you.


Thank goodness words aren't knives.

The classiest act in the software business shows us all why. Supportive and generous on top of producing wonderful products is a hard act for any company to follow. We are proud to receive the award and privileged to share the honor with such an abundance of talent.

Thanks to all of the PGMusic folks who put so much thought and time into their products, their website and the creation and maintenance of this forum. We love you!

Peter and all the staff at PG music.
I am completely stoked. What a wonderful company. What a wonderful gift. My singing teacher's husband is a pastor and has written over 1000 songs. He has been desperate to try BIAB since I sung its praises in 2012. I am going to pass this Everything Pak onto him. He is going to be completely delighted.

Thank you for an amazingly generous and surprising award.
I've been using Band In A Box since the Atari ST days and it's always been a great tool to use.
Thanks again for being such a generous company and producing such enjoyable software.

Dear Peter and Team PG:

Thank you doesn't seem anywhere near adequate enough for your incredible gift! I'm very, very grateful. In all my years of buying things, I've never once come across a company that treats people with as much respect and with as much consideration as PG Music. I wholeheartedly support floyd when he said...

Not a day goes by when I don't sit at my computer and puzzle my way through constructing another bit of a song. I couldn't even begin to count the hours and hours of enjoyment you've brought my way. I honestly cannot imagine life without BIAB and RB. Thank you!

Congratulations everyone smile

Noel

Thanks to you, Peter, and to everyone at PG Music.

Without all of you, without Band In A Box and those amazing Real Tracks, my songs would never have gone beyond the kitchen table.

The same goes for the talented musicians in this community who have shown me what's possible with this incredible software.

A year ago I was shopping for a drum machine, and BIB came to my attention. I'm a miserable musician, and need a lot of help recording my songs. BIB provides that help, it's like having a group of session players just waiting in the next room. I still have much to learn about the program, but have recorded about 30 songs over the past year.
With my new song "Across the Great Divide", I discovered that BIB is a great songwriting aid. Not only did I pick chord structure with the program, but wrote lyrics to follow that structure. Then when the song was complete, I used RealBand to build guitar fills and solos.
I honestly wouldn't be able to record without these programs, PG is a great company with a great product.
