You can also duplicate the snare track, and eq or gate the copy like crazy, then use THAT as the trigger track for Drumagog, apTrigga, whatever running 100% wet. Then blend in the original snare track (on a separate fader) to taste...

A bunch of stuff I've mixed lately has snare mics that are woefully full of bleed. If you use a resonant peak, alot of times you can spike a frequency that will serve as a good trigger. it might be a totally non-intuitive freq, depending on the bleed. You can even turn off the audio and just watch the meters to determine what's going to do the job. Remember, this is just serving as a trigger, so it doesn't have to sound good. If you're on ProTools, you can even sandblast the bleed with StripSilence, just leaving ugly little regions where the snare hits are.

Whatever it takes!!! thumbsup
