Sorry , Within our coveted circle of WORKING producers and engineers... If you cant spot trademark sounds within the industry.. then you might want to spend some time doing something else.

Instead of taking a sampled hi hat and trying to make it sound live, why dont you just go out and buy yourself a nice pair of hi hats and a mic and play your hi hats live on your tracks.. Nottz is known for doing that and his hats sound CRISPYYYYY!!!

Aight, N!GGA... im making a beat tag. I will post a sound cloud link. The beats are NOT free to sample,use,re-create, download,copy with any external plugin or audio recording. Without a licensing contract from myself(composer,Publisher).
Beat tagging my music. Then i will post 10 or so.

its real simple. you can definately do more, but this is the easiest way to add bounce with your hihats with very very little work. here it goes:

alternate hihat velocities on a 1/16th hihat pattern. i.e. X x X x X etc.

here is how i do it:
i will use note repeat to create 1/16th pattern on track A. then i copy that to track B. then i go to grid edit on track A and delete all the even hits. then i go into track B and delete all the odd hits. now if you play both tracks together it sounds like a regular 1/16th note repeat pattern. now lower the velocity of the entire track B so track B velocity is like half of track A i.e. track A-110% & track B-30% (usually i mess with the exact values until it sounds nice). so there is a relationship between track A and B of LOUD and QUIET

the idea is to get a LOUD QUIET LOUD QUIET pattern going to give the track bounce. louder hits on the downbeat. accenting the beat like that gives it a push pull bounce feeling, even on the most simple pattern

ya know! sorry for **** explanation, probably easier to show in video.

Once you get that down, you can instead of using note repeat, freestyle it using velocity in 16 levels. alternating the velocities gives push pull feeling. you dont just have to have exact values, you can add more variation, or you can even use differant hihat tones. etc.

now i dont even use note repeat. i just tap out without quantize so that i can make it groove how i like, then i add to it by doing the copy thing and deleteing alternating hits and adjust the velocity of each track. sometimes ill just put on 16 levels velocity and just do the alternating all in one track

you can accomplish similar results by using shakers too. lay down straight 1/16th hihat pattern with normal hihat. then go in with a shaker but dont do same pattern, do it 1/8th on all the downbeats. experiment!


Really great advice. Don't forget also that the dynamics of bass can really alter your perception of the highs, and thus "tricking" your mind into thinking that the sound is different. It's one of the first things I picked up on when I started (not even a year ago). For instance if you have your hats on the 1/16 and a simple bass drum on 1/8ths, every kick can give the illusion of bringing the hats down just a notch, making it sound more like a live set. Add a bassline and you get an even greater effect.

So think about how the sounds play with each other before you give up on trying to perfect the hats in a track.
