Tokøta, from Mastering.com, shows how to make an open hi-hat cut off realistically when a closed hat hits, using Ultra Beat's choke groups in Logic Pro.
Assign both hi-hat samples to the same group number and the closed hat will choke the open one, mimicking how a real drummer's foot cuts off a ringing hat.
He compares the choked and unchoked tails side by side, showing how pulling out the gate still keeps the choke intact and can sound more natural depending on the beat.
As an alternative to choking, dragging out a sample's release lets its full tail play on every hit, useful for samples with longer natural decay than these hip-hop hats.
