I don't like his band, but still.

For me who only know the age of PC based production, it looks so complicated. But what I think is fun is that the process is more based on musicianship, compared to current normal PC production process which would be closer to something like what does a music song writer (I mean, writing partitions. Midi / editing / etc is like writing a partition).

Do any of you process sometimes a bit this way to record some external source to your project ? I would personnaly be more of those who would have re-created the beats he is using, or cutting them manually to get the samples and re-write it the way I want it. He instead is more grooving them manually with what he can do.
 
As a former Hip Hop producer I can say YES. I have done this a million times, grab a slice off a record, clean it up, loop it, sample a sound, mod it with a synth and put it in .... It is a very complicated process but it can yield very cool results.
