I've been struggling with this one for awhile now. I like the sound of a nice tight, short,snappy snare. I can achieve this but the problem lies in making it loud. What I mean is after it's been mastered (either professionally or by myself) when the track volume is boosted to commercial level, the attack of the snare gets dulled. The limiter seems to knock off the attack and push the snare back, making it duller and longer. Any tips?
To better describe the sound I'm looking for would be like The Used, Def Tones or Chevelle.
