check your velocities of the individual beats they need variation, and also the length of the decay on any open hi-hats in the pattern is critical to keep the feel...

someone told me to compress em separately, my problem was that they sounded too nice. erm, after messing around I reckon my real problem was that I got too hooked up on filtering all the mid freq out of them.

I make a lot of hard house and trance, and I've found that putting the hats on their own output and compressing the living shit out of them can really make a differance. Has to be on their own channel though cause the settings that work well for the hats will totally kill the bottom end of whatever kick you are using. Also, you might want to play around(I'm assuming you don't do this but whatever)with out any quantization, adjust the notes with out any sort of grid on, really helps make the sound more natural.

I don't sample, I have a pair of drumstations. and as far as what sort of compression, I'm honestly pretty ignorant about how compression works, so I just turn the knobs until I think it sounds right, but they usually wind up at extreme positions. regardless, any one setting won't work for all patterns, what works for a particular rythym and mix of hat sounds might not sound so good on another. My best advice is to expirement and trust your ears. There's nothing wrong doing things completely different from everyone else. Oh yeah, just remembered my compressor also has a limiter and a gate on it, which alter the sound more drastically the compression does, so if you have that at your disposal give it a try.

yeah compression does work pretty well, unfortunately I went too far and lost sight of what was good or bad in a mix.. ah well.. works though and seems to be what the high end was missing. thanks.
