Ones that cut through a mix and excite the ears, anyone got any suggestions?

Why not just get two snare samples and apply appropriate EQ to the samples, an exciter, a peak unlimiter, and maybe a short delay (for thickness), and then combine the two samples through a ring modulator, the wet/dry ratio of which is controlled by MIDI attack velocity--just like everyone else does? 
take care,

I like the sound of that.McLilith wrote:a peak unlimiter
Seriously -
1) Take any snare sample
2) Apply an amplitude envelope similar to this:
Attack: 0, Decay: short (100ms), Sustain: 0%, Release: (same as decay)
3) Run that through your favourite punchy compressor. Make sure you use a long attack time and short release.
4) For extra spiciness, use a high-frequency exciter.
Forever,
Kim.

Hi,
I second Jeez comment.
Also if you want a "strong" snap, try to layer your original (accoustic I suppose) snare with the tail of a TR-808/909 (depending of what you want) snare drum.
If they're well mixed you'll get lot of attack and a good snappy sound.
You could also use so VSTi (like drumatic) to layer your drum and add some more punch to them.
Hope it helps
Kisses
