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.
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.

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 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.

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. --Steve
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

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.
