This is a re-upload containing a few fixes, as pointed out by Jeff van Dyck himself! Most notable are a few audio glitches that were fixed (from FIFA 95 at 3:42 and the very beginning of the video), but there's also a bit of erroneous information that I patched up as well. Apologies to all of my subscribers for this upload appearing twice in your feed, and apologies to Jeff for the audio glitches in the first place!
Absolutely freaking loved this Artist Feature, aside from Skitchin', I sadly never really heard any of his other OST's, and even more so makes it upsetting to me as I'm sure because he did sports games I probably didn't pay much attention to them back then cus, they were sports games, but it very much goes to show don't judge a book, or game in this case, by it's, property I guess, haha. Jeff is exactly the kind of composer many of those EA sports games needed to have memorability and just fantastic soundtracks, and its definitely a good reason to push people to still check out those games, or at least there music, FIFA International Soccer on SNES I love that whole OST, so good. Of course all his SNES & Genesis stuff is top notch, even if he didn't do many, its nice he got a great sound out of the soundchips. And his Redbook stuff, I love it (very shocked he did an FM Towns games), hope he got good exposure from the Need for Speed games at the time (tho of course Shogun I'm sure gave him the most recognition), it's nice he wasn't always attached to a sports game, even though he always did fantastic on those. I love hearing Jeff do so much from rock, funk, bigbeat, trance, acid, and to just that electronic edge he gave to lots of his Redbook compositions. I absolutely respect the work he has done on the Shogun series, though not something I generally will go and listen to, definitely music more fitting when playing the games than listening on there own, but still many great tracks he has done from those games. It makes sense ending the mix around his 2000 era as of course the Shogun series takes the most dramatic shift of his career for composing style and probably tough trying to fit anything else from there into the mix, the Shogun ending is perfect. But this absolutely made me want to dig into basically all his work he did in the 90's, his soundtracks are excellent and I'm happy he's had such a great career in video game music, audio directing and just sound designing! Happy to see him continue doing so and even gaining more praise and likely recognition from his recent work on Unpacking. Love this guy, and love you too GST, one of your most top notch mixes and Artist Features as they are and I know continue to be!
GST, what is "Software mixing" and what do you know about it? I'm asking because 4 simultaneous samples on the Genesis is a big deal! I remember Jeff mentioning this trick on his LMH interview, as well as the name of the guy who figured out how to do it. I tried contacting him, but he didn't respond. Anyway, any info you have about how this was accomplished on the Genesis would be appreciated!
Software mixing just means mixing that was done in software instead of dedicated hardware. Without looking up anything to refresh my memory, the gist was this: The DAC had a small buffer of sound data. as long as you kept writing the new data at the same rate that the buffer was played back, it sounded seamless. The bonus was that you had enough CPU cycles to add a few waveforms together and send the result to the DAC's buffer. Resampling was a bit more expensive, but there was still enough time to apply this to one sample (usually the guitar) before adding add everything together. This is in contrast to other chipsets (SPC700, PAULA) that would handle the mixing with specialized hardware, no CPU cycles required. Hopefully that helps a bit, though it's not particularly technical!

Cool that 16bit compositors are still around and talking with us.
Is Jeff van Dyck have youtube channel?

Fingers crossed for Jeroen Tel video.
Jeff! Its just a sports game! Jeff, calm down man! You don't need to go so hard for soccer! Jeeeeeffffff! Throttle it man!
GST. You are the best. May jazz-funk never die.
His techno works are amazing, I missed every one of those games as they were not my genre else I would discovered such an amazing artists before!
I don't mind the re-upload. Thank you for the work you put into this channel!
I don't understand why you'd ignore his career from Total War....Rome was basically his masterpiece album.
This is amazing. Looks like I should be paying more attention to sports games after all!
Metal in fucking sports games xD
8:43, WAIT! I heard this tune before! Wasn't this from Megaman and Bass' Stage Select?
Another great video, thank you! The whole time I was waiting for NFS II, love of my childhood
Keep up the good work! I freaking love the channel!
is it just me, or does NHL'98 quote rock and roll part ii (the hey song) at the beginning?
Great stuff! Please bring on more vids like this one
thanks for making this
awesome!
Here's hoping you do a video on Manabu Namiki, eventually.
I hope one day we will find out his inspirations behind Doki Doki Sasete.

I wonder if a video about Frank Klepacki is in plans. It'd be really cool feature.
Or maybe about Alexander Brandon...
That Need For Speed song uses the organ from Led Zepplin's "Kashmir"
Keep up the good work!
Whoop
Everyone in the comments here should check out his soundtrack for Assault Android Cactus including the new remix of Fingerstyle called Fingerstyle+
