Back with more Ace Attorney! This is my favorite cross examination theme. This time around I added a lot more to the original theme, making it sound even more dramatic. Like the last testimony theme, I added the little text you see before a cross examination in the game. I've always loved how Ace Attorney 5's testimony theme is in 5/4, and 6 is in 6/4. Looking forward to eventually remixing a 7/4 testimony theme (it better be 7/4, Capcom)!

Cross Examination 2016 ~ Moderato/Allegro Ace Attorney Remix

Time for some jazz. 

Godot's theme was requested a while back, so I figured I'd knock out one in the list. This one's a fan favorite. I didn't really like it all too much until the final case, but now it's one of my favorites too. The second loop is different in this one, which is what I like to see! My audio visualizer's been looking very low FPS these last two videos - I'll see what's up with that, but luckily it's not the focus. 

Very busy with finals these days, so I hope everyone can relax and drink some coffee!

The Fragrance of Dark Coffee - Godot's Theme Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations Remix

It's finally happened! The Great Ace Attorney is finally releasing in the West! 
Woooooooooo! I've been sitting on this midi for a while, so I made this cover since I recently picked up Synthesia. These songs are really hard to remix since they're so good and string-filled. We'll see what else I can do with them!

Naruhodo Ryuunosuke ~ Objection! 2015 - Multi Piano Cover

"But what is faith without doubt?"

This one took a while, but I'm proud of it. I didn't think my last arrangement of this track did it *ahem* justice, so here we go again! I'm starting to move towards what I'm looking for in these remixes. This bad boy has a lot of references to my old remix, as well as Dhurke's theme. I'd like to see this incorporated into his next theme, as this is what I'd imagine it could sound like. I probably could have chosen a better picture, but I really love the 3DS remake art.

Apollo Justice ~ A New Chapter of Trials 2021 Ace Attorney Remix Prediction

I overlooked this one - a very good ending theme. It reminds me of a bitter farewell. Trying to branch out my style as always, so let me know how I did with this one.

Justice For All - End Ace Attorney Remix

Hope you like this one! Still trying out new styles, and I went with some of the original soundfonts for this remix. It's fun to play around with the original soundfonts for old songs like these, because you can really make it feel like a "remastered" version rather than a remix. That being said, I changed some things here and there, but kept close to the original. This testimony theme's always been a bit spooky, so hope you enjoy!

Questioning ~ Moderato/Allegro Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Remix

I just finished the first Great Ace Attorney game, so here's the theme of everyone's favorite samurai lawyer! This is an arrangement made by me for piano. I usually do this for most of my remixes before I make them. This time, I'm uploading the piano version! Let me know if you like it, as I could record my arrangements for other previous songs. This one is a bit simple and easy to play. 

I'm loving Ace Attorney Chronicles so far, please don't leave any spoilers in the comments! On to the next game for me.

Asogi Kazuma ~ A Samurai with a Mission - Ace Attorney Piano Arrangement

Here we go! 
Sorry, I'm late! Both for Ace Attorney's 20th Anniversary, and a certain channel reaching 500 subscribers... but there's still time to celebrate right? 

This is honestly my favorite song in the entire series. Everything about it makes you feel like you're on the cusp of epiphany. It's just such a good way to transition into the pursuit theme proper. I think I did it justice here, and this is one of my favorite things I've made thus far. I've been super busy recently, hopefully one day I'll start uploading more consistently. I have another project I put on hold for this as well.

Overture To Pursuit ~ Omen 2017

Whew, this came out later than expected, but I got to time it with the release of the remakes! This has been one of my favorite gym leader themes, but I've always felt it could use a little bit more. In my opinion it's the bass that makes this song, so I made it stand out more. Interestingly, the official remake of this song doesn't do that (still really good though). Let me know what you think of this one!

Battle! Sinnoh Gym Leader - Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Remix

And here we are! 

This was a lot harder to make than I thought it'd be - had a lot of processing errors. I fixed a small lyrical error in Overture to Pursuit, and pretty much rebalanced/mixed everything in Pursuit 2015. So here is my definitive version of both songs! I love this transition - this is one of my best videos for sure. Gone are the days of the blender audio visualizer - I think this one looks much cleaner and more professional. Honestly, don't know why I stuck with the old one for so long.

Overture to The Great Turnabout (Omen 2017 + Pursuit 2015) Great Ace Attorney Remix/Arrangement

This is an old one! I made this about a year and a half ago for a project in the Paradox Music Team, but it never got released. This is different than my usual style so I hope you enjoy! Such a fun song from CD.

Quart zQuadrant Bad Future - Sonic CD Remix

Made this one for a very nice request! I'm calling this an arrangement rather than a remix because it sticks very close to the original (I can't help it, sometimes it's too fun to see how close I can get), however I do think it still sounds unique. As usual, I add more parts to the second loop so listen closely - you'll probably recognize them.

A Cornered Heart - Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice Orchestral Arrangement

Let's show them a thing or six!

This is my favorite song in Xenoblade 3 - still haven't finished the game yet, but it's such a fun track. Observe my strategy - I used my thinking muscles for this one. I focused on making this playable, though there are a lot of tricky lefthand jumps. There are a couple sections which have an added part - those notes are marked orange and aren't meant to be played in a solo. 

I went into this one trying to improve my lefthand parts during composition, and I think I succeeded! Though I might have relied on jumps a little too often. I also tried to keep listening to the song to a minimum and keep my own take on it - I find that often times I follow the source material a little too closely. In this case though it didn't really matter since I've listened to the song a hundred times. I'm also trying to speed up my process and lose a little perfectionism so I can churn things out faster than once a month... but I ended up spending many many hours on this anyways. 

Mixing solo piano is hard! It might get too loud on max volume with earbuds, but I tried compressing and EQing the piano the best of my ability. 

That being said I'm very happy with how it turned out! I tried to give this song as much energy as I could while still keeping it playable.

Chain Attack - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Piano Cover

Surprise! It hasn't been a month yet! 

I've had this idea for a while. The two songs are The Great Court ~ Lobby from the Great Ace Attorney and Preparations: Deliverance from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. I really love 'preparation' songs in games, and these are two of my favorites. I honestly think they work surprisingly well together. Although, the song is a bit more... boppin' then I pictured. Since they're different BPMs, Alm's song got sped up. 

I'm trying to upload a little more frequently, and that means toning down on perfectionism and trying to just send any ideas I have. I'm pretty pleased with this one! Bet nobody saw it coming either. I'll probably do more of these mixes in the future, but inspiration has to strike with what songs to mix.

The Great Lobby of Deliverance

Oops, it's been two months. 

This is a fun little remix of one of my first compositions, Tavern Song. I kinda just threw this together so it might be rough around the edges, and the song itself is very repetitive, but I love it. Since the original found itself in a playlist we use whenever I play Red Dragon Inn, I just associate this song with the game now. It's a lot fun!

pianomansam - Tavern Song 2: Welcome to the Red Dragon Inn!

"Panicked... Palms sweaty... I can admit it. I'm nervous." 

I really enjoy the beginnings of the AA games where you first hear the chill yet apprehensive lobby themes and start the game. Looking back, they all have very good openings. This one is my favorite lobby theme! I was surprised to realize just how short it actually is. Not sure whether or not to call this a cover, remix or whatnot, so I went with remaster. However, I did make some changes, so it might be more apt to call it a cover. Short one this time, hope you enjoy.

Courtroom Lobby ~ New Prelude - Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Remaster

It's Trick Time. 

We got a switch version!! I swear, if you haven't played this phenomenal game now's your chance! It's coming out this summer. I meant to finish this one way earlier, but you know how it goes. Maybe sometime I'll nail down a consistent video schedule. 

I kept a lot of the old sounds in this one, because they're too iconic to keep out. It's a great main theme that I loved hearing at the end of every chapter.

Ghost Trick Phantom Detective - Main Theme Remix/Remaster

This one is a pretty faithful remaster. It went through a lot of iterations, and I tried to make a lot more original parts, but it didn't quite click in this case. In a lot of my remixes/remasters/covers/whathaveyou I try to either stick with a new theme, or make the song sound like it belongs in the original title. If I can't do that, I usually end up going with a remaster like this, which isn't all that bad. I still think it stands out from the original. 

AND WE GOT THE APOLLO JUSTICE TRILOGY ON SWITCH LET'S GO

REUPLOAD: Sorry, but the bass's eighth notes were slightly too fast and that bothered me for the longest time. Here's the fixed version, with a little extra layer added on the second loop.

Telling the Truth 2007 - Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Remaster[Reupload]

This was by far my favorite part of these games - Nemona's champion battle theme! I've been sitting on this one for a while, thinking I would change it up a lot more - but it's been a couple of months so I figured I should upload it. This would have been a lot more difficult without @yue7507's MIDI transcription, so please take a look at it!   

 • Nemona Final Battle Theme - Pokémon S...  

I always wanted this theme to be a little faster, a little crazier. So I added what I think could help the theme, and if I may be so bold, I can't hear it any other way now. I love the BPM rising and the little mix of minor Champion theme in there. I also added a couple small changes on the loop as always. This was a good exercise in picking the correct instrumentation/VSTs for the job. Please let me know what you think!

Battle! Champion Nemona - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Remaster

Best song in the game. 

I've been working on this one for a while! I think I struck a good blend of sticking with the original and adding my own twist here. Working on this song also helped me improve my strings even further, and experiment more with brass. There are a ton of moving parts in here! 

Coming to Solm in game after the rollercoaster of the previous chapters was a nice breath of fresh air with a jammin' theme. Seriously, I don't think any other level theme comes close to comparing (barring the trial themes). In other news, it looks like we're getting close to 1K subs...

BIG thanks to  @StarSymYT  for the vocals and feedback! Check out his channel.

Bright Sandstorm(Fiery) - Fire Emblem Engage Remix

The other half of my old SoJ remix, Allegro! I added some more harmony that plays on the second loop, as well as a few backing adjustments to help fill out the piece a bit more.

Cross Examination 2016 ~ Moderato Spirit of Justice Ace Attorney Remix Extended

7/4 is so fun. And strange. I added a lot of panning to this one, as well as the piano chords to add a more dramatic feel. For allegro, I really wanted to bring out the drama and urgency of the final case of Dual Destinies. Maybe the breaks are a little too funky, but I really like how this one came out! 

Honestly, I didn't really like this testimony theme when I first played the game way back when, but now it's one of my favorites. I just think the game doesn't use allegro as much as it should, as the moderato is very calm, bouncy and thought provoking. Sometimes the situation is a bit more dire.

Cross Examination 2013 Moderato/Allegro Ace Attorney Dual Destinies Remix

I started a little work on this when I heard this song months ago in the first trailer for the collection. I decided to wait for the full song to release, and I'm glad I did! The second calmer section is such a banger. Everyone should play this trilogy for my boy. I added Phoenix and Apollo's objection themes in the second loop since the song teases them so much. Consider this my 1K Sub special! I put a lot of work into pulling this together, hope you enjoy!

Apollo Justice - A New Era Begins! 2024 Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Title Cover [1K SUBS!]

Malo Mart!

This investigation theme has the strangest time signature. It's constantly changing, and I think that's part of the reason this simple theme never really gets old for me. It also reminds me a lot of the original trilogy investigation themes, which is always a plus!

Sorry for the wait! I've been working on a new commission (expect more Dual Destinies coming) and been busy otherwise.

Investigation ~ Opening 2013 Ace Attorney Dual Destinies Cover

Long time no song! 
This is a pretty basic cover of Core 2013. The bass is so funky on this one. I'll be trying to get some more videos out soon, so stay tuned!

Investigation ~ Core 2013 Cover Ace Attorney Dual Destinies Cover

Everyone's favorite trial theme! I love how final and regal it feels. For this one I basically ended up recreating the Special Blend version of this song, it's too good. Also ‪@Danielinhoni‬'s version, which in turn is based off of Special Blend as well. I added some bits of Courtroom Lobby 2004 and Allegro 2004 and a few new tracks (Timpani!) 

The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over. 

Trial 2004 - Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations Cover

The first testimony/cross examination theme from Phoenix Wright! 
My second favorite testimony theme - I never really get tired of it.

Listening to this song while pressing witnesses really made me fall in love with ace attorney. You can probably tell I love the counter melody, and I gave the regular melody a healthy dose of piano. I mean come on, if I don't have piano I'll lose my channel name. I'm trying to give as many songs as I can a special opening with an objection or otherwise, and I liked how the cross examination title scroll fit into this. These little titles were inspired by https://www.youtube.com/user/IschmarVI, who does similar things in his mashups. Give them a listen, they're all incredible, especially for studying.

Testimony ~ Moderato/Allegro Ace Attorney Remix

The most famous ace attorney song out there - with a twist. I put a lot into this one, so I hope you all like it! Halfway through the song transitions into Overtaken, mixing two of my favorite ace attorney songs together. I also incorporated both the 2001 and 2004 versions of Cornered, though they sort of melded together into their own thing.

Pursuit ~ Cornered: Ace Attorney Dual Remix

Justice for All's always been the odd game out, but I think everyone will agree the final case is incredible. While this track hasn't always been in my favorites as far as objection themes go, working on it made me realize it's got a lot of potential. I tried to keep each loop sounding unique, so it's not boring to listen to. This remix made me realize even a small change can keep a line interesting. I think in the future whenever I cover a looping song, I'll make sure to keep variations in there!

Phoenix Wright ~ Objection! 2002 Ace Attorney Justice for All Remix

The theme of everyone's favorite horn-headed attorney! 
I love this theme, so expect more takes on it in the future. 

Towards the end, I added some nods to Apollo's 2016 theme, and his investigation theme in dual destinies. You can probably tell I love Apollo as a character, and I'll be honest, it's probably because of his theme. The melody is so good that even if I listen to it a thousand times I'll always love it. Plus, Apollo always seemed much more upfront and honest than Phoenix was.

Apollo Justice ~ A New Trial is in Session! Ace Attorney Remix

You need to stop judging things based on narrow-minded cultural assumptions, Nick!

Maya's theme! I made this one pretty quick. I went into this one wanting to make more of a remix than I usually do - and ended up following the original very closely. Turns out when I try to do some of my favorite songs, I never want to actually change them. My favorite thing I changed here is the flourish at 0:45. Otherwise, this is more of a cover than a remix, and I named it thus. I also usually try to include something new on the loop, but nothing really clicked this time. Still, a classic great theme.

Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters 2001 Ace Attorney Cover

If you're an ace attorney fan (or anyone really) and haven't played Ghost Trick, give it a shot! It has the same composer as Ace Attorney, and an incredible soundtrack/story. It's also available on androids and iphones! Anyways, enjoy what's probably my favorite track from the game.

Ghost Trick - Fate Updated ~ Variation Remix

More ghost trick! All of these songs are boppin. Here's Lynne's theme. Like Maya's, I didn't change it as much as I wanted. Maybe these upbeat themes are a bit harder for me to mess around with. I do think I added some good changes though, and I really like the sound that came out for the melody.

Ghost Trick - Lynne ~ A Targeted Redhead Remix

Funny story with this one. I was just messing around with modulation, when I decided to call the song discomodulation. Disco + modulate, but also discombobulate. So I had to make it a disco song, and Miror B's theme fits the bill. 

So enjoy this impromptu remix!
