3. Blend in with original track.
The idea is to create more of an attack on the snare that is mostly the leading edge of the sound and a tiny bit more (according to taste). Sounds like "pop" when in solo and has no sustain, just "pop". You will be surprised how little you need to add to make it crack. Sometimes I find myself making the "pop" track brighter. YMMV. If the gate is triggering poorly, send me a private message and I'll give you my recipe for cleaning that up too.

What if the snare track is a very dull sounding SM57 on top?
