an original process or take on sampled material counts
English

Remix
Hi there
I'm having a hard time understanding the structure and meaning of the sentence between **:
"A good remix is defined by its signature original elements. It might be composing a new bass line, playing in some extra keys, or adding a new kick drum. You may decide the originality is already there; **an original process or take on sampled material counts**".
I simply don't understand the way the sentence is constructed. Can you please help me make sense of it? Thanks :-)

In other words, a new or interesting way of working or using/interpreting sampled material is important (and may contribute to the overall originality of the piece/remix).

: The statement makes sense to me; it's not just the composition that makes a work unique, it is also the process and variables available with the use of remix equipment that adds originality.

A quote about one artist's remix process:
One signature here is the time-stretching of the track, resulting in a tightening of the drumming sounds, and so on.
"Winners of Remix magazine and Puma's 1977 remix contest, Jaded
Lover, talk about their process of making their remix of Chic's "Everybody Dance."
"The first thing we did was to import the audio file of the complete song into Ableton Live, where we time-stretched the entire track in order to tighten up the drumming. Then we selected snippets of the tune..."
