2013 User Showcase Awards.... Congratulations to....
You may have won a free Band-in-a-Box 2014 Everything Pak ..... check here
Over the past year (2013), we’ve had over 900 new original compositions posted to the User Showcase. Wow! Now over 2,100 songs in the Showcase! Many thanks to all that have contributed.
We’d like to thank and recognize these amazing contributions that people have made!
So we announce the User Showcase Awards...to the top 15 contributors of 2013 – a free Band-in-a-Box 2014 Everything Pak for Windows (including the 12 PAK bonus)
We’ve reviewed the contributions from Jan 1 to Dec 1, 2013, and have based the results on a combination of the following criteria:
- great compositions/arrangements/productions
- use lots of BB or RealBand (RealTracks or MIDI)
- most contributions
- other contribution to the forum (songwriting tips etc.)
- haven't won before (not an absolute requirement)
- haven't already got a free version from beta testing etc.
And the winners (alphabetical order) are:
90 dB
aleck rand
boehm
cubanpete
dani48
Digital Angel
Don Gaynor
F.M.M
floyd jane
gruverider
Guitarhacker
Janice & Bud
JosieC
Steve Young
tommyad
If your name is on the list.... congratulations! You have won a free Band-in-a-Box 2014 Everything Pak Hard Drive (including free shipping of course)
To collect your award, please contact marketing@pgmusic.com (by Jan. 31, 2014) (attn: Cat Cantwell), and provide details of where you want it to be sent. (don't forget to let her know your Forum name)
If you've already purchased 2014, we will refund your purchase price. If you already have BB 2014 via another means (beta testing etc.), then you can designate "someone else" to receive it (just send that info privately in your email).
If you're a Mac user, you can either get 2013 Ev. Pak or request a raincheck for the 2014 Mac Everything Pak when it comes out.
Once again, thanks to all the creative people who create, produce and share these wonderful songs!

Congratulations to all the winners.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi, Peter and all ye other friends out there
around the world !:)) It really feels
like BIAB makes all of us closer !
I want to thank Peter for this more than
generous present and all ye other friends
that have inspired me to write and thus
to keep my head over the water !
I am most serious when I say that BIAB
has saved me from the abyss I was on
my way into after my dear wife´s death !
BIAB has helped me rediscover music again
and thru that it has played a central part
in my recovery ! Thru BIAB and thru all you
fantastic friends I have got on this site
I managed to get back my lust for life again !
I am forever indebted to you all !Thank you so much !:))
Cheers
Dani

Dani,
No one deserves it more than you. You transformed that destructive energy into a creative force, and you are an example for all of us.

Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people... there is no better user community and no better developer support anywhere.
Peter, when you get a chance, it'd be nice to know which specific compositions tickled PG's fancy. I know the award is based on several other criteria, and there are TONS of community submitted pieces in the Showcase forum - y'all have heard them all - in your mind which have stretched the PG envelope the most?
For this years winners - WELL DONE (and thank you).

Peter,
This is the best Christmas gift I could have received! Thank you for your generosity and for creating the greatest songwriting tool ever. All the best to you and your family, and your extended PG family - the finest group of folks I've encountered in this business.
Congrats to all the other winners - now let's get busy writing and recording!
Regards,
Bob

Peter and the folks at PG Music... it's an honor to be a part of this group of extremely talented folks.....
Thank you for all you do behind the scenes to make this software the absolutely most amazing software ever for the musicians like me and many others who can not play all the instruments we need to complete our musical projects.
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.

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."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.
If you'd rather listen to these songs in one place, head to our Band-in-a-Box® Radio, where you'll have the option to select the genre playlist for your listening pleasure. This page has SoundCloud built in, so it won't redirect you. We've also added the link to the Artists SoundCloud page here, and a link to their forum post.
We hope you find some inspiration from this amazing collection of User Showcase Songs!
Congratulations to the 2023 User Showcase Award Winners!
We've just announced the 2023 User Showcase Award Winners!
