I've had a few requests for extension from people wanting to enter the contest but just needing a little more time for recordings due to the summer vacation. Therefore the new deadline for submission will be Friday 30th July 2010. I will shortlist entries over that weekend and the shortlist will be put up for public voting the week after. Thanks again to the people who submitted so far; I've even had more entries than last year and they've all been super!

Some more AAI transcripts are now up! I'm hard at work on the two big ones, namely the epic Great Revival 2009, and Quercus Alba's theme for string quartet, so look forward to those! I've also added the Cross Examination theme for PW3 - sorry it's taken so long to get some of the court themes up for PW3, transcribing the AAI stuff has given me a bit more of a feel for the keys Noriyuki Iwadare composes in. If you do notice any key signature errors, do get in touch so I can fix them.

In Performance Contest news, I've had some great entries already! Keep them coming!

Well, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth has been out for just under a month now. I hope you all enjoyed the soundtrack as much as I did! I am working away on some new transcriptions, but I have something far more exciting to announce, namely the 2010 Performance Contest!

For those not around when the last one was running, all you need to do to enter is just submit a recording of yourself (and possibly your friends, as group submissions actively encouraged) performing any piece or medley of songs from the Ace Attorney games.

I had some great entries back in 2008 and can't wait to see what you guys come up with for this year's contest! So give it a go and enter. Looking forward to hearing from you!

You can get more info on the 2010 competitions page.

There has been yet another site re-design by Meph!

The most noticeable change is the appearance. The colour scheme has been updated with red and blue as secondary and tertiary colours. The layout now uses HTML 5, which is a new version of the code that web designers use to make web pages. This will allow us to make exciting changes in the future.

There is also a change that you probably haven't noticed yet. The site now uses pretty URLs to make it easier for you to navigate the site. Look in your web browser's URL bar to see them in action.

Finally, there is a feature that has been removed. In the old design, you could click on the headers of each category for the music tracks (such as Character themes and Background music), causing them to expand and collapse. This was removed because it will be replaced in the future by something better.

Enjoy the new design!
