tips on hi hat lines

Agreed, it sounded like some shaker loop woven into it as well. What you call badly produced, Steve, i put as ''not hi-fi'' = lofi. Now if that's exactly the sound your looking for, ok, but i an only imagine this being played over a rig and becoming even more mushy.

But i reckon one can't really argue about taste and b) i like threads like these!

Well what I mean is, especially with the digital era making that super crisp top end, this kind of bad production has been archetype for so long, it`s kinda become a sound, but essentially it`s a product of the cutting engineer having trouble with overcooked tops.

Lo-Fi is something like portishead. Using vintage and intentional scratchiness or whatever, but still well produced.

Bad production is bad production.

But I still get the general gist of what our man wants here, which is the rolling hats that essentially become one instrument (at least I think that`s what he is getting at) which is common in techno. Mankind records was always a good exponent of lovely big rolling top end loops. Incidentally, putting a sidechained gate with a constant 16 step pattern over the final stage of your hat buss, will also give things a nice timely chopping into the mix.
