Congratulations to all the 2015 winners! And thank you so much PG Music for creating the best and most comprehensive music program ever. The 2016 version enhances the user experience even more, so very cool! We can't think of any other software company that is so dedicated and so very generous to its clients. Rewarding 40 (!) people this year...that's unprecedented. It goes to show how much your heart is in the right place  We are definitely going to create many more songs with this wonderful program!

Dear Peter, PG-Staff, and BB Users Forum Friends,
My wife and I are truly honored and humbled by this recognition and incredibly generous award. If you told me back in 2008 when I started using BB that it would be such a rewarding experience, I never would have believe it. I feel so lucky to have found such a marvelous musical tool, to have met such wonderful people on the Forum, and to be associated with such a remarkably helpful, responsive, supportive, and appreciative company.
You’ve heard that we feel BB has made a great impact on our lives. I believe it’s true. This software suite, support team, and User Forum has not only helped me become a better composer and musician, it’s enabled me to capture my music in a way that’s good enough to share with others. Many years ago, I wrote songs but never recorded them due the technological and cost limitations of the day. They were only heard when I performed them live. After a while I stopped writing. Now the revolution in home recording and this incredible software has given me the tools and motivation to continue my musical journey. If it hasn’t changed my life, it certainly has made my life richer and more gratifying. I thank Peter, PGMusic and my Forum Friends for that. I can only hope our music brings enjoyment to those who listen.
Thank you and congratulations to all winners!!

Dear Peter,
I too offer my heartfelt thanks to you and your GREAT COMPANY for an AMAZING PRODUCT and an AMAZING TEAM. I was talking with Callie once about something and she mentioned the Support team as a resource, and I said "Oh they know me, trust me..." And then we both laughed. What I mean is that the tech team has been so supportive and patient beyond words or anything I have EVER seen in customer service while I was learning the tools--and I have written books on customer service. Your company is the Gold Standard for Customer Service in addition to providing a mind-boggling product.
I guess my way of saying thanks is this--a super great musician came to my house the other night and listened to one of my latest and said, "Awesome. You have come such a long way in two years man."
I was so proud. And I feel I have been on a musical growth spurt. BUT, I know I could not have done it without your product, your team and all of the wonderful friends and mentors I have found on this forum.
Thank you all. A million thanks, from the bottom of my heart. Here's to a great 2016 of great tunes from everybody!!! Band in a Box you rock!!!!!!

My copy of 2016 arrived today.
I want to add my thoughts to what David said.
I have never seen a Support Team nearly so knowledgeable and courteous as PG's, not even close!
"A great boss attracts great staff!" That's very evident in this company.
Thanks, Dr. Gannon.

I would like to thank the Dr. Gannon and the PGMusic staff for including me as one of the winners. I am very grateful and extremely honored to be included with such talented musicians and composers as the other winners.
Without BiaB I doubt that I would be playing as much as I am today and for sure I would not be writing and composing songs. BiaB and PGMusic are the best. What else can I say except thank you.
Dad, how will I know when I've become an adult.

Wow! I am glad I am finally clicking on this thread! I don't really feel deserving, but it is nice to be included on a top 40 list that include Floyd Jane and other talented folks here (ha, ha).
I think PM Music has got to be one of the top customer service companies around and with a great product.
A VST product that you could include in any DAW (the standard BIAB chord type layout and then add instruments that use the chord layout) would probably open BIAB to another world of users.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
