Well stated, Greg!! Incredible Company. Incredible Product indeed!!
And like you, BIAB helped me return to writing after a long hiatus - and because of it, music become a huge focus of my life again.
Congratulations to all of the awardees! Those who participate in the Showcase make some wonderful music and make it a place that is a joy to spend time.
A HUGE thanks to Dr. Gannon and ALL of the folks at PG Music.
Band-In-A-Box is MAGICAL.

Thank you Peter Gannon and all of the team at PG Music!! It is such an honor to be included on this list with so many great songwriters/musicians/producers etc. I would have such a struggle producing the music I hear in my head without this tremendous software! Just about any musical idea conceived in the mind can be put into a tangible form with this program! I hope that all of us on this list will use this great gift to produce music that will not only bless our listeners but also convince others that they can achieve what they only dream about when it comes to making their own music through the use of BIAB. Many thanks again, Torrey Bliss

Peter, Thank you! You are very generous! I would not ask for a refund. I hope I can transfer my prize to a talented friend who I was convincing for some time to try BIAB, leaving him without a choice but to try it and fall in love with it (I am sure he will) P.S. I use BIAB almost every day. Even if I am very tired, I try to dedicate 10-20 minutes to it just exploring the enormous wealth of creativity and fun. Thank you for amazing product talents you managed to squeeze into the small box.

Dear Peter,
I started reading your post and thought, "How marvellous that PG Music wants to reward talented users of Band-In-A-Box with a free upgrade. I wonder who they are?" Half a dozen names immediately came to mind. I was pleased to eight that I recognised before I had scrolled down to the letter G. Then I came to a name I did not expect to see.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your generous offer. I love interacting with BIAB. It is the most brilliantly conceived and extremely effective music creation tool I have ever worked with. Last year I turned out more than a dozen brand new musical creations as well as significantly better remakes of earlier compositions - not to mention backing tracks of artist's songs. Without BIAB I would still be struggling along with midi.
I can assure you that the UltraPak will be put to good use. Many, many thanks!
Kind regards,
Ghostgum

Thank you Peter and PGMusic! I've been using BIAB since 2002, back when it was all midi. The first time I bought it I got the basic package plus the blues expansion pack, which was floppy disk #16 if I recall correctly  What a long way the program has come since then! Like floyd, BIAB got me back into making music again after not doing anything with it after the last band I was in broke up in the mid 90's. It has allowed me to do things I would never be able to accomplish on my own, and I couldn't imagine life without it at this point. And the fact it is a Canadian company makes be proud to be Canadian! Thanks again, PGMusic rocks!

I stand here, absolutely humbled to be included in such an amazing group of musicians, singers, and song writers.
And to PG music, the staff, the programmers, the sales staff, the tech support folks who work so hard to create and improve an already amazing, jaw dropping, unbelievable musical package that allows me and so many others to do what we do so easily......and at a professional level......
A great big THANK YOU doesn't seem to be enough.... But yeah.... Thanks guys for all your hard work.

Congratulations everyone!
When I started reading the list, the first thought that popped into my mind was "Wow! This is a 'who's who' of Users Showcase."
I've enjoyed listening to songs from everyone on the list!
Well deserved!

Dear Mr Gannon, dear PGMusic staff,
what an incredible honor to be part of that list of fantastic songwriters !!! I'm completely humbled and thank you so much for it.
I really want to express my thankfulness for brightening up every single one of my days with that wonderful (sometimes I tend to think: almighty) software BIAB and that obviously infinite mumber of brilliant RealTracks, for the kind and supportive contact with the PGM staff, for giving us users the opportunity to share our productions and, last but not least, for the chance to become friends with wonderful folks all around the world.
Maha and I don't even dare to imagine how our life would be without all that.
Congratulations to all you winners - and thank you for all those wonderful songs and posts that you contribute to this great forum.
All the best to all of you,
Stefan

We've said it for years and will continue to do so. You folks epitomize what customer service/support is all about or should be all about. The community you've built with the forums and the remarkable diversity of its members is unparalleled. And the sheer joy that your products bring to so many is remarkable.
Music has always been a big part of our lives and Band-in-a-Box has encouraged us to take our musical journey to so many new and fun places.
Thanks to all the staff!!! We hugely appreciate your support.

Oh my word! Thank you so, so much. I can't think of any music company that
a) has produced such a brilliant and extraordinarily useful music songwriting program; and
b) that treats its customers in such a brilliant way.
It's been said before, above, but what you have achieved in both these ways (including this phenomenal forum made up of such extraordinary musicians that all get together in such a collegiate spirit to share their Band-in-a-Box creations) is nothing short of, well, incredible. Thank you again - you have just encouraged me (if this were ever somehow possible) even more to keep writing and creating with your superb program ... you won't hear the end of me now, haha. Genuine gratitude!

If there were such thing as a Michelin Guide for companies who make software for music... you would probably be the only company to get all 3 stars!
I love the imagination, dedication and vision you show in developing this software and in how you support it in the forums and elsewhere!
Congratulations to all the winners - you are all worthy of it... you have posted so many stunning songs that just make my life better by listening to them.
For me 2019 has been a year of personal struggles and I haven't been as productive as I wanted to be, so I was surprised to be included in the list... but of course very happy to be there!
Thanks a lot, PGMusic!
Will

Dr. Gannon and company, thank you so much for your generosity. You have one of the best music products on the market in BiaB, a product that starts virtually all of my songs. I am very grateful to have BiaB in my arsenal.
I am also very honored to be included with some of the best songwriters on the planet.
This is the best site on the Internet.

It was a lovely surprise to receive a message from another forum member telling me I'd been included on the list of 2019 User Showcase Awards recipients.
The generosity this gift represents, regardless of the marketing savvy behind it, is very rare and very much appreciated.
Thank you PGMusic.
Cheers

Thank you PGMusic, I jumped out of my chair when I saw my name there! When my blues forum (which operated very much like the User Showcase) went away after fifteen years, I was lost. The User Showcase gave me a place to keep my music going and expand my horizons in the process. Now to put all that tunemaking power to good use! Thanks again, PGM!!!!

This is very much appreciated. This past year has been the year for upping my musical education, haphazard as that tends to be. There is nothing so much fun and inspiring as learning a musical concept and immediately being able to put it to use with the brilliance, ease, and inspiration that comes with BIAB. Thanks for years of continual improvement and dedication that brings us to 2020.
I'd only want to add an encouragement to new forum members to dig into the forum, listen to, read, and support others, and show "us" what you got and are getting with the software. Not only can the rewards be tangible, but less tangible as well. You'll be inspired, challenged, and maybe even find yourself in friendly competition (even if your competitor doesn't know he/she is being competed with). That only comes with "giving"...the "receiving" will take care of itself.
Thanks, Dr. Gannon and all the PG staff in all roles.

Dr. Gannon And All The PG Music Staff ...
Thank you so very much. This has been a very difficult year for me and my wife. She almost died three times in 2019. She continues to hold steady and we're hoping for some improvement soon.
Band In A Box has been such an important part of my life during this time - as well as the good times. I am so thankful for your excellent products and wonderful staff. Truly, it makes a huge difference in my life.
And the joy I get listening to the other forum members is just wonderful. Thanks everyone for your fabulous contributions! Your posts are better than anything I hear on the radio. Sincerely!
Thank you so very much! I am honored and grateful for this literal life-changing gift. Wishing all of you at PG Music the very best in 2020.
And congratulations to all the other winners. What a marvelous group of musicians and singers!
Alan

Thanks!  You've created both an extraordinary product, and nurtured a caring, supportive community of musicians. It's an honor just to have my name listed among all these fantastic music makers and friendly people! (Double checks to make sure they didn't accidentally mis-type my name when they meant "David Synder" instead! )

To Peter and all the staff at PG Music.
Once more I am blown away by your generosity. You have given my music "life" since I was lucky enough to stumble across this wonderful product in 2012. I continue to use it daily.
I am just about to take part in my fifth (I think) FAWM and will once again, spread the word far and wide amongst the songwriting community.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much, Peter and all the fine folks at PG Music! I don't know of any other company that does what you do. Nobody comes close to the quality that you produce. The finest studio musicians at our fingertips to generate top quality productions in hours, sometimes minutes! Incredible!
And then to honor us like this is remarkable. I cannot express how grateful I am. It is things like this that create fiercely loyal customers such as you have. All the friends that I have made on this forum have made similar comments to me about their sentiments regarding Band In A Box.
So thank you very much! I am honored, humbled, and flattered to be included in such a great group of people here. Congratulations to all the winners! (Actually, I think everyone who uses BB, and puts themselves out there creatively are winners already!)

Congratulations to all the winners. 2019 was a very inspirational year with beautiful new songs and some arrangements were blowing my mind, pushing the borders from our great tool Band in a box.

Dr. Peter Gannon,
I have been privileged to work backstage helping to promote this awesome software. It has breathed new life in me since a stroke had sidelined my musical aspirations. Today, thanks to you, I am writing the best music of my life that is being heard around the world.
A sincere 'thank you' seems inadequate somehow but "Thank you" for everything that you have done for me in my musical pursuits.
A sincere congratulations to all winners. You all keep me inspired to keep growing musically. Thank you all.

Doctor Peter Gannon and all of your staff at PG Music,
PG Music is the absolute GREATEST!
Thank you all so much.
BIAB is an unique and amazing product which I have been using for about 25 years.
And it is my most favorite among the music software that I own.
I'm very happy and honoured to have been included in this year's awards.
And… Congratulations to all the other winners!
All the best,
Shigeki Adachi

Hello Peter,
Thanks a lot for putting my name on the list of the winners of this showcase award. I am proud of that fact, but I also would like to honour your fantastic piece of software that made this possible. I have so much joy in making songs and BB makes it pretty easy to get nice results. And of course I would like to thank all 'my colleagues' and the BB staffmembers Ember and Deryk on the forum. Their comments and support are heartwarming all the time.
It is also very impressing hearing so much good songs on the forum. You must be proud of yourself to have created a product that makes all of this possible.
Hans

Thanks PGMusic, it's a huge honor to be included on this list! I have used BIAB more than 20 years and it is still the only one I wouldn't like to be without. It has really boosted my songwriting to new levels, several honorable mentions in a song contest wouldn't have been possible without BIAB as an inspiration and backing band. And thanks to other showcase members, I have seen that it is possible to use BIAB in many different and creative ways.

Thank you very much PG Music and your excellent staff; its so rare to find a company that listens,cares and responds with genuine enthusiasm to its customers!
I`m a relative newcomer to the software...wow, there are folks here with 25 years experience...without Biab its likely I`d still be recording demos on cassette to be put away in a shoe box.
You guys are awesome!
Robert

Wow, I can't believe I'm in this list. Not only do I not feel even close in ability to the other people listed, nor able to give the kind of useful advice they provide. And also as I've have had to take a long break from submitting anything or posting due to work and university commitments! I'm certainly honoured to be listed amongst such talented people. Thanks for such a generous gesture !

Wow, this is very, very cool. Congrats everyone--an outstanding year of music!
I can't imagine where I'd be musically without this software--a true Godsend! And the continued generosity and support of the PG staff continues to amaze. You all rock!
My best to each and all of you,
Deej

Dear Peter !
Forgive me this late answer but
I did return today from Spain and
a monthlong semiworking sejour down there.
As I did not have any means of
communicating from there, though, I did realize
that I had once again been honored
with the PG prize 2019 ! For this
I do feel most humble and thankful especially when
I have´nt been able to be as prolific
regarding songs as I had hoped for I
do hope that there will be more to come
with the updated BIAB program !
Thus I do thank you so much for this
wonderful gift - we all know there ain´t
any better and want to bring you my greatest
thanks !
Cheers
Dani

Thanks to the BIAB staff for recognizing my work.
I started using BIAB in the 1990s with a Zenith PC and an Atari running Notator (now Logic Pro/GarageBand) but stepped away from music composition for several years.
In 2019 I was back in the studio and with the support of BIAB, the staff, and feedback/encouragement from the wonderful members of this forum I was able to produce some good work and get motivated again to do more.
This recognition motivates me again and I look forward to sharing my work in 2020
Bob

I was surprised to see my name on the list of winners. I sent a message to Callie in marketing because I just now got back on the forum after having major surgery. I pray that I can still get the BIAB 2020 because I didn't respond by February 29th.

I am totally blown away by this hard drive. I thought I had to load it onto my computer, but was surprised that all I had to do was plug it up to my computer, and it loaded up, with everything contained on the hard drive. Thank you PG Music!!

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!
