Congratulations to all the people on the list...
But a Great big shout out to PG music and staff for creating such a great program that let's us express ourselves musically in ways that would be nearly impossible any other way.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Peter and PG Music Team,
All I can say is WOW! and thank you.
Having used BiaB for a little over 3 years makes this an especially humbling experience.
This is an amazing product . . . keep up the good work and thanks again!
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

A huge shoutout and thanks to the entire team at PG Music. You all and your products rock! And we are most appreciative of being a recipient of the award. ALL the music we have created for the past eleven years simply would not have been possible without BiaB. And that includes songs that we have been honored to have licensed and featured on playlists, blogs and radio stations ... that speaks for us volumes to the versatility and sheer power of BiaB.
Thanks y'all!
J&B

I am so honoured and so humbled - thank you. You truly are the best music company I know of, bar none. Without PG Music, NONE of my songs would exist, right now. Your software is unrivalled, and, simply put, unlocks our musical creativity. On top of that, for you to run these awards, every year ... well, who does that? They really are another incentive for us to keep writing, to keep unearthing our talent from the deep down "tomb", within our hearts, where modern-day society would like it, all too often, sadly.
So - in short - thank you, PG Music. Thank you for your extraordinary software (no lesser adjective would even come close to do it justice) - thank you for coming up with something which opens up our musical potential to such an extent, and thank you for rewarding our CREATIVITY. You are unique. The most genuine of THANKS to you.
... and thanks to EVERYONE who showcases their songs on the forum. You are, all of you, the members of the most friendly and collaborative music forum I have ever been on. No competition against one another, here ... just genuine help, suggestions, encouragement. Not to even mention (it goes unsaid, I think) immense, immense TALENT. You ALL got the best out of me, and I firmly believe that, together, we get the best out of each one of us. It's a genuine honour to share the forum with all of you - I have learned so much, since the first time I landed on here with no mixing skills, no singing skills, but bags of sheer confidence, haha. Thank you for helping me learn how to mix, if only a little ... and for encouraging me to sing :-) Your help has meant that I've had the courage to actually release songs, not just sing in my bedroom, just for myself - so THANK YOU, forum members, for making this community of musicians the best music forum I know of, bar none.
To a wonderfully musical 2023 :-)

Peter & PG Team...
Thanks to you all, for all you do.
Band-In-A-Box is a miracle. I say that every year. And every year, it remains so.
There is nothing like it ANYWHERE else.
EVERY musician should own a copy.
Congrats to all the recipients.
The amount of GOOD MUSIC that gets posted to the Showcase is stunning.
And it's a terrific place to just "hang".
Thank you.

My goodness, thank you to the entire PG Music company. I am honored, and humbled, to see my name in a list of people who's work and music I admire so much. My congratulations to all of those on the list. This is my first year on the forum and the first time I've started using Biab, and I am so grateful to both the company and all of the users on this forum. You have been immensely helpful and encouraging to someone like me who is so new to production. This is quite a company, quite a group of users, and quite a generous gift! All I really know to say, is thank you - so much!
Brad

Peter and team, it may sound a bit pathetic, but what you and your team have created has changed my life. Your software not only makes it possible to realize what is in my head, but you have also created a great community that helps each other whenever possible. You can be very, very proud of that! Thank you

I'm honoured to receive this award.
I wasn't expecting it!
But let me tell you how gald I am using BiaB. It's a great piece of software that helps me a lot to creat my songs.
Many of my colleagues said or will say the same and it is the truth.
Thanks Biab for this opportunity.
Hans
