hats... hmm... well i used to use a delay on them alot and feedback the delay in the usual manner which induces some distortion of you drive the delay.

Distortion tend to turn hihats into noise generators (connected to an on-off switch being turned on and off by a robot :-), making your hihat patterns more agressive. Only thing is, you might need an additional underlying hihat pattern (a more "conservative" one with no or at least less distortion). This depends on context, sometimes too much dist can turn your hihats into something else, and the absence of "proper hihats" might be disturbing to the listener.

waves rcomp on open hats makes them go woosh woosh - zero attack, to take all the bite off them and give it plenty on the threshold and ratio, turn gain up you should get the sound i think your after!

well, you should buss out the now smashed hat to the other main percusion bus and compress together here to get the swing going like you hear on the records
alots gonna depend on the initial sample tho. polish turd etc

a good tip from steve was to side chain you hats- use a 1/16th note as a trigger and get that to trigger on the 3rd 16th of the bar...therefore for the first 16th of your hat its compressed and then rushes back up to volume- probably more suited to techno, probably something you've known for years but def a cool tip!!
