Since then, he has directed music videos for most singles of his band, with the exceptions of "One Step Closer", "Crawling", "Faint" and "Given Up".

He has also remixed their song "With You" (originally on "Hybrid Theory"), which appears on the remix album Reanimation as "Wth>You".

On the new album Minutes to Midnight, Joe Hahn focused his contributions on programming with his sound effects board and MIDI keyboard. Minutes To Midnight also features his turntable talents on three tracks: "What I've Done", "Valentine's Day", and "In Pieces." Joe has been known to utilize MIDI pads on several tracks from the band. Examples include "Crawling", "Numb", and "By Myself".
