2012 User Showcase Awards.... Congratulations to....

You may have won a free Band-in-a-Box 2013 Everything Pak ..... check here

Over the past year (2012), we’ve had over 810 new original compositions posted to the User Showcase. Wow! That's more than double the 400 compositions made in 2011. Many thanks to all that have contributed.

We’d like to thank and recognize these amazing contributions that people have made!

So we announce the User Showcase Awards...to the top 15 contributors of 2012 – a free Band-in-a-Box 2013 Everything Pak for Windows (including the 16 PAK bonus)

We’ve reviewed the contributions from Jan 1 to Dec 1, 2012, and have based the results on a combination of the following criteria:

- great compositions/arrangements/productions
- use lots of BB or RealBand (RealTracks or MIDI)
- most contributions
- other contribution to the forum (songwriting tips etc.)
- haven't won before (not an absolute requirement)
- haven't already got a free version from beta testing etc.

And the winners (alphabetical order) are:

If your name is on the list.... congratulations! You have won a free Band-in-a-Box 2013 Everything Pak Hard Drive (including free shipping of course)

To collect your award, please contact marketing@pgmusic.com (by Jan. 15, 2013) (attn: Cat Cantwell), and provide details of where you want it to be sent.

If you've already purchased 2013, we will refund your purchase price. If you already have BB 2013 via another means (beta testing etc.), then you can designate "someone else" to receive it (just send that info privately in your email).

If you're a Mac user, you can either get 2012.5 Ev. Pak or request a raincheck for the 2013 Everything Pak when it comes out.

Once again, thanks to all the creative people who create, produce and share these wonderful songs!

Hi Peter,

Thank you!!!! I couldn't believe it when I read the list. What a great start to 2013

Your company and your products are nothing short of amazing! Absolutely the only reasons that I can write the songs that I do are (a) Band In A Box and (b) Realband. I can't imagine how I'd go about creating anything without these incredibly powerful tools.

Hope you, your family and your business have an incredibly prosperous 2013.
Noel

This is the greatest holiday gift! I have been looking at the upgrade for a long time, but I'm suffering from long-term unemployment, and spending anything is out of the question for now, so I've accepted that I'll go along with my current version...then this! An upgrade to the current release was really the only thing on my Christmas list this year...I love this software, always finding new jewels as I dig deeper into the treasure chest of BIAB and RB...also great, responsive tech support and a very inspiring and supportive community of fellow creators. Thank you so much!

Peter,

I am overwhelmed by your generosity. I too have had some financial reverses that precluded my upgrading (which I really wanted), and this gift is most welcome and appreciated.

Best to you and yours in the coming year, and thank you very much.


Regards,

Peter (and everyone at PGMusic),

I am so grateful. For this wonderful surprise, of course. But more so, for the truly incredible product that you provide and the amazing support behind it. I'm constantly amazed by both.

It would not surprise me to see next year's number double again. And congratulations to all the "winners".

I'll quote from a couple of my favorite songwriters to express my delight...

Oh what a feelin'
Now who would believe
Dizzy and giddy from a guy like me
It hits you hard
Takes you by surprise and it's good
Real good
So unbelievably good
(from "What A Crazy Thing" - now playing at a User Showcase near you...) <grinnin'>

Thank You!

So is PGMusic.

I have the user forum set as my default page for PG Music and thus it serves as my entry point to other PG Music pages. I'd just loaded the page to navigate to the Mac section to look for a RealTrack set when I saw a message from a member. I hadn't yet looked at the forum posts and was very surprised that the member had kindly congratulated me on the win!

Wow!! I am truly humbled and so happy for my wife who started recording again after I bought Band-in-a-Box. I can't express how much this means to us and how genuinely impressed I am with PG Music and the members of this forum. You are all class acts. We've had a music hiatus after we lost our good friend and stellar picking partner, the great Randy Howard, years back. If not for him we would have never recorded our first CD, and if not for you guys we would not be in the process of putting together our second project. And most importantly, if not for y'all, we would not be having so much fun with music again.

Thank you all and many congrats to all the other winners and contributors.

Bud

PS I can now access all the RealTracks? Genre bending here we come!
