Thank you so much, Mr Gannon.
I certainly did not expect to see my name on a winners list for a second time. It's an honour (and a surprise) to find I have been included.
I must confess I have not fully explored all the styles and sounds that were included in the previous Ultra-pak, but having read some of the comments of other users, I am keen to discover what's new on the 2022 version.
Thanks again and have a great new year.
Kind regards,
Brian Raynor

Doctor Peter Gannon and all of your staff at PG Music,
PG Music is the absolute GREATEST!
Thank you all so much.
BIAB is an unique and amazing product which I have been using for over 25 years since the MIDI-only era without RealTracks.
I'm very happy and honored to have been included in this year's awards.
And… Congratulations to all the other winners.
Best regards.

Thank you so much, Dr Gannon and everyone at PG Music. Without Band-in-a-Box, I, quite simply, would not be writing music. BIAB has been the catalyst to release my musical thoughts onto the external world, because, inter alia, it tremendously shortens the process between concept and execution. To then have such a contest which enables so many of us to be able to continue creating is the epitome of kindness on your part. Thanks so much, once more, and congratulations to every single person who makes music with BIAB. It is a joy to make music with such superb software, made by a company which obviously cares about its musician clients. Have a wonderfully creative 2022!

Dr. Gannon,
Thank you for your generosity, your products and for your outstanding teammates who are always cordial, knowledgeable and responsive. Band-in-a-Box opened new music vistas for us and for the past eleven years it has been along with our love of the outdoors a most enjoyable part of our life. During this time via the forum community we have made genuine enduring friendships with members and that alone is a wonderful award.
Janice & Bud
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Thanks Peter and all your staff,
Realtracks have been a revolution in the world of musical arrangement. And each year, we're impatiently waiting for the new features.
That's really a marvelous tool for songwriters !

Dr. Gannon and the whole PG Music family...
I have said it a million times and it is more true today than ever - Band-In-A-Box is a miracle.
As demonstrated by so many of the comments above - it is Life Changing.
Nothing else like it in the world.
Every musician - any level, any genre - should own a copy.
The generosity of these "awards" is mind-boggling.
The feeling of community (family, really) of the forum is incredible. Heartwarming.
The friendships that blossom here are priceless.
The Showcase has grown SO much over the years.
It has always been a caring and nurturing place.
An amazing number of high quality writers and producers make it one of the best music sites on all of the internet.
Hopefully, that translates to more new users/customers - to allow the company (and software) to continue to grow long after we are all too feeble to continue making music ourselves (although BIAB makes it so easy, that may NEVER happen).
Congratulations to all of the award recipients.
THANK YOU!

Thanks so much to Dr. G and the PG music staff for this great award. I remember when I first discovered BIAB ten years ago, and I felt like I had stumbled onto the greatest software a home producer could own. It was truly a Eureka moment. Even now, the latest version still amazes me.
Congratulations to all the winners!

Dear Dr Gannon, dear PGMusic staff, Maha and I are pleased and honoured to be among the 2021 winners, and we want to thank everybody at PGMusic so much for it. Whenever I try to explain to friends what BIAB means to me, I get amazed looks. Because that’s what I tell them and that’s what it is:it is: The only software I cannot replace by any other app. The only software that can lift me up or at least divert me for hours, even when times are bad. It’s definitely something that I wouldn’t want to miss, maybe even couldn’t miss. I gave up brooding over how in the world BIAB works long ago - especially the soloist function remains a sheer miracle to me. I remeber that I was already stunned by version 1 of BIAB. But when I returned to it after many years I couldn’t trust my eyes and ears - what an incredible, yes: ingenious development. And waiting for the next version is still exciting, the feeling that I get when I can finally check the list of new features always reminds me a bit of how I felt on Christmas Eve as a boy ... Beyond all those wonerful musical experiences this forum has brought me some very precious personal contacts and even friedships which I am incredibly grateful for. I want to congratulate all the winners - I do know that most of you wouldn’t change a thing if there wasn’t such an award, but I’m sure you’re all proud that your work (and, heck, there are so many musical and lyrical gems being posted here) is being valued and cherished this way. Well, I am... Do I have to say, ‘Keep on writing, producin and posting!’ ? Nah, I guess that nothing in the world could stop you anyway... Take care everybody, Stefan

Hello the gentle Team,
Congratulations to all those registered because they fully deserve it. I was pleasantly surprised to be included on this list, because following personal problems I haven't really been active since September 2021. I would like to thank the staff for their kindness and impartiality. Anyone who allows Biab to flourish should be taken even as a beginner. A special prize could be awarded to these promising people to encourage them to promote your wonderful software.
Kindly regard and Than you again
