Callie,

I think the new styles are brilliant! There are some pretty amazing combinations of instruments and genres -- I'm pretty sure that I'd never have thought of any of these by myself.

I'm also grateful for the inventive chord progressions that accompany the demos for each style. The reason is that I often use demo chord progressions as a starting place for creating my own chord progressions when I'm composing. I really appreciate the new material.

I congratulate Team PG Music on a great job!

Regards,
Noel

Callie, I'm still learning the interface, so I'm not able to give you a realistic assessment, however, the previews are amazing!! Can't wait to test drive them.

I am an original 1990s DOS user of BIAB. Having been away so long, I can't believe the strides that have been made over the years. I produced a CD in 1992 and used BIAB for one song. The MIDI device was the Roland Sound Canvas, which I still have!! It works too. The song was very well received. It was "Baby It's Cold Outside." And yes, my music partner and I paid the royalties to SOCAN, so I can freely divulge the song title. We did everything above the radar. The CD sold about 400 copies. Pretty good for a couple guys having fun. BIAB was a big help then. We intend to use my new version (2016 Ultrapak) for our new CD.

One thing though, PG Music absolutely MUST get into the 21st century before it's over. Please update the styles naming conventions!!!!!!! DOS is done!!!!!!! Why are we still trying to decipher the style names from yesteryear??

Other than that, PG Music and its team rocks, as do the fine folks in this forum who have helped me along the way. Thanks to all.

- Lee
