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

Peter & Team,

Thank you so much... I am humbled and very grateful.

As a user since the early 90s this is the best product and best company that I have ever encountered.

Congratulations to all the others as well.

Many thanks again,
Bob

Thanks Peter and everyone at PG Music for this award!
This product has been such a tremendous blessing to me over the years!
My congrats go out to all the winners this year! I hope I can return the favor to PG Music by inspiring many others to give BIAB a try and get creative!
What a blessing we have received with this gift! TB

Hi Peter,

Thanks to you and all the team at PGMusic - much appreciated.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks you, Peter, not only for the award, but for giving us the ability to put a working band in the studio as we produce our songs.

Thank you!

I'll put it to good use.

You make a great product and we're lucky to have such a good tool with which we can create our music.

Thanks, Peter and Company. (literally)

It's an honor just to be in the list with all these other music makers!

Congratulations to everyone on the Showcase! You folks at PGMusic are truly the ones to be congratulated. We get to play and you all work to make our play much better, much more fun, and if we ask for your help, you always give it as if we are the reason you wake up in the morning. hehe. AND you bring this incredible collection of creative and helpful music makers together to help, support and encourage one another. If the whole world was designed and run like PGMusic, what a wonderful world it would be.

My favorite advances in the 2024 version are the Tracks View and all that can be accomplished there, the extended ways for partial regeneration, how all Utility Tracks are now editable on the Bar Settings, the floating windows that work seamlessly with the Chord Sheet, and of course the (F7) MultiPicker. Oh, yeah, and the increased speed.

Thanks

This is Home.
PGMusic is Family.
The forums is a Family Reunion with ALL the relatives (the Crazy Uncles make it Fun!).
This is like Christmas!
Mom! Dad! This is JUST what I Wanted!!!!
(OMG! I'll feed him and walk him and play with him Every Day!!!!)

Y'all are Just Too Much!!!


Be Creative.

This is ever so kind. Whatever I may say, beyond "thank you", it has already been said by many others. Nevertheless, I am indeed immensely, immensely grateful. This is not just a tool, however brilliant, for us musicians ... this is a lifeline. To create is my life, and (I think) everyone's on this forum. Take away creativity from us, and we literally wilt away. You have not only created what I regard as simply the best electronic musically creative tool available anywhere, these days (none of my songs would exist, even in the "in-the-making" phase, without Band-in-a-Box), but - through your immense kindness in offering these awards to us - helped us all stay creative and even reward our creativity. I am, therefore, humbly and eternally grateful, even if my own words will never express that quite adequately enough. THANK YOU.

Giving away product? Unheard of! What's next, a Live Help desk???

Ha!

I'll echo my thanks for PGMusic and the kind gift, as well as my appreciation for the Showcase community. Ya'll are the best.

Many thanks to PG Music. I think I will give my gift to a young musician to introduce him to this wonderful musical creation tool.
Laurent

Thank You So Much!

Peter and team,
You guys are truly a top shelf organization. I'm just a newbie that took up music late in life and am so humbled to be counted along side with a pantheon of talent.

Not only is BiaB central to every song I produce but this forum is a great community of folk willing to help and inspire each other on their individual musical journeys; what a combo!

Many, many thanks for all you do and all you've created.

Hi Peter and Co.,

A nice bit of news to brighten a dark day.
What a great company.

Dr Gannon and Team,

It's a great honor to be included on this list of talented contributors. I sincerely appreciate this. there is no way by which to let you fully understand what a difference your products have made in my life. There's the myriad of musical possibilities, of course, but it extends far beyond that for me.

Sincere thanks, Wishing everyone at PG Music a warm and successful 2024.
