Yeah, I’m messing around with a bit. Three tracks with haas is what I’m going for. I wanted then to sound different, too. Like have each one accenting slightly differently, so this is definitely what I’m going for. Thanks for the tips guys
Keep a mono switch before the master to check. General advice for all mixing.
I would go the route Marsen suggested.
2 channels, hard pan L & R, then nudge one channel 6-12ms left or right. Also add a tiny bit of pitch shift on one of the channels.
Also automate the velocity & volume on each channel so they move slightly, independently of each other

You can try this trick I learned on audioscienceonline which is to duplicate the track & EQ each one to a different frequency therefore creating a chorus type of effect of your hats.

try the Haas effect
yeah in order to create a stereo effect there needs to be a difference between the left and right signals
you can do that with time delay/phase, EQ/filtering, different pitching, or just using two different samples and panning them to whatever degree works

I would not introduce l/r sample delays to individal channels for these effects. you are going to run some type of delay or haas effect during your mixing stage already. but directly from midi is still the fastest. it’s a white noise transient and a little 5 minute trickery, or a simple latch automation. if you spread it without saturation in front of it, you will thin it out. 20 different ways to do something, whatever.

i try not to spend more than an hour (2 tops!) in the studio. if im spending 3+ hours, i need to be prepared for the big cooldown. cooldown for a 3+ hour session consists of meditation, swimming, walking, venting, reading, writing, just ANY healthy choice at all. no drugs no alcohol. its possible dsf fam

thanks for sharing, Ryan!
on a real one, commited schedule can definitely help with getting music made, depending on your personality.

Thanks for the tips guys. I think I got the effect that I was going for by panning + stereo delay and having the multiple tracks playing slightly differently.
Definitely gotta play with it some more

Try it on one channel as audio, in one plugin . Stereo Sync Sweep. In Logic, it can be done in AutoFilter (it’s multiple presets); or Step FX plugin. But if you do it with a modulator like that anyway, you are not applying stereo imaging via sample offset/delay. I can’t keep track of all the new and interesting places they keep modulation options in other DAWs now, because it’s crazy. But LFO Tool, Output Movement, Midi/Shaperbox, type plugins all should be able to do this very easily. Or most of it anyway (below). They even set it to prefilter distortion like I mentioned, but in Squashit you can do it across a more discreet range; due to it being an adjustable multiband processor. it’s another place to gain some saturation, too. pretty neat stuff. You can even maintain a good portion of the effect converted back to mono.

Haven’t gotten around to chopping and using any of the samples I’ve recorded so far, but I’m gonna keep recording more. Got some locations and sounds I wanna catch.

My parents got me the zoom h1n as an early birthday present so I’m gonna have some fun with that soon

Nice one!
With that kind of mayo library, I would too quickly run out of hdd space for Trap Hat midi files.

I assume this sort of drum sampler can be played via a midi keyboard, assigning drum hits to different keys?

Anyone know of anything similar for Mac (free is poss coz I much prefer to work with samples, but might be good to have something like this in the arsenal)
it’s a VST so yes

Cool. Never used one before. Thought I might experimental little.
I wanted something for jungle, like where you have different parts of the break on different keys (like an MPC but on a keyboard)

i didn’t read too much about that plugin, but you can probably do that, I use Kontakt to do similar stuff
