Hi everybody,

when your 70th birthday is already in sight, anniversaries are something like a ticking clock and I wouldn’t claim I’m still looking forward very much to them.

But today’s anniversary is something very special to me:, because I posted my first song / video here exactly one year ago and thus became member of an incredible community..

And since I‘ve met a lot of very nice people here (some even closer than just by their posts), heard stunning songs galore and learned a lot during those last 365 days this was an awesome experience for me and I wouldn’t want to miss one single day.

When I posted my first song I was convinced that it wouldn’t deliver many (if any) reactions, but you guys were very kind from the very first day on.

So I want to thank you all for a great musical year, for your kindness, nice comments and many very personal warm wishes to Maha.

And of course I want to thank the PGMusic team for giving us all the chance to present our songs on this wonderful forum.

All the best to all of you,

Stefan

Hey Stefan,

I've thoroughly enjoyed everything that you've brought to the forum. Your music and your videos have been a terrific source of musical inspiration for me.

Like you, I'm so very grateful that PG Music is part of my life. It's an amazing company with amazing products! And this forum is a really wonderful little corner of the world wide web.

Happy 1st anniversary!!!

Ta for the ta.
Your songs are engaging as are the lyrics, the back story and, of course, the videos.


Cheers

I hadn't been here long myself when I first encountered your "first". I can't say I remember the content exactly, but I remember well the spirit of the thing--the humor, the fun and "work" you and your friends and loved-ones put into it, the musicianship, and the overall amateur (and I mean that in the highest and most glowing sense of the word) professionalism without the big head. Instant fan.

Best wishes to you, Maha, and the crew.

We've been "here" for eight years and you and Maha brought a whole new dimension to our forum enjoyment.

Meaning a wonderfully entertaining presentation of great music and videos. The videos are intricate and hilarious but
behind them is always really well produced music.

Keep 'em coming and y'all take care of each other,

J&B

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
