PG Music Home Forums General Discussion Off-Topic Discussion, suggestions for style content (cont...)

Because of issues I've stated in another thread on this particular forum, I have very little time to spend on these usually very helpful and interesting forums. But, there are instances when I make the time I don't have.

I agree 100% with Floyd's original post. It is my opinion that PG Music and Dr. Gannon lead the way in the production of content that allows people worldwide to make some pretty darned good music in an extra room, garage, or wherever they create their music. It's pretty close to having your own sophisticated studio with top session players at your fingertips, just waiting for you to call on them at your convenience. For an initial investment of approximately $500.00 US and an annual update of about $150.00 US, I'd say that's a pretty decent arrangement. One live session to record a couple of songs would cost that much or more. Those professional musicians PG Music uses probably don't just show up and contribute their time free of charge. And they're among some of the very best at what they do.

I don't know of many (any?) services/products that offer the full range of options, bells, and whistles that will satisfy the finite needs of every potential customer. PG Music is a business - they have a target audience, and they try to meet the wishes and wants of that audience. But they can't be everything to everybody.

In total, I've written about 1250 songs. Of that total, there are seven songs for which I cannot find a suitable set of tracks to conjure the sound I want. Rather than complain about BIAB, I simply found another software that provided those tracks. I saved them as WAV files and brought them over to BIAB. To get everything we want, we sometimes have to find other products that work well with what we have and cobble them together.

I think PG Music does a fantastic job of meeting the wishes and wants of most of their target audience. I don't expect perfection and answers to everything I wish they had. I just appreciate what their products offer me and look elsewhere to fill in the blanks. And yes, those other products cost money. If you want to attain what BIAB can't provide, ya gotta pony up a little extra cash for added wishes and wants. That's still a lot cheaper than hiring those studio guys and gals. Each of us wishes BIAB could be offered to our own specific liking, but that's an unreasonable expectation.

For folks who can't get what they want from BIAB, I suggest looking around for another product that offers what you do want. But I doubt any other product will answer all your wishes at just about any price. If there is, why aren't you using it instead of BIAB?

Floyd, your original post is spot on, in my opinion. Thanks for posting it. And PG Music, you guys and gals are the best! Thank you.

Wishing everyone the very best in your musical pursuits.
