Why Does Hi Hat Cut Out Only After Export?

[CMAR1583]

(song file attached Hi-hat appears at 22 second)

As the title suggests, my hi hat in Steven slate drums 5 sounds great in DAW but when I export the song, it sounds like the Hi-hat disappears in some cases, not due to volume mixing, but it sounds like it cuts out on some "strikes" of the instrument. Has anyone dealt with this?? I have tired using different Hi hat sample, to phase reversing, boosting treble, exporting the midi file into WAV then Exporting the WAV With the rest of the mix and still no luck.

Currently I have assigned the Hi-Hat to its own channel with an EQ cut at 200hz and broad curve peak at 8khz. In addition I am using multi band compressor with steinbergs preset HI-Hat Exciter" (doesnt seem to change much its subtle). Hopefully a fresh set of ears will help thankyou!

Are Exporting/Bounding to a Stereo Mix? What do you have on the Mix Buss/ How are the drums submixed - or are they?

I will upload some more pics. Exporting is "Interleaved", not sure what that means have not experimented with that.

Heres how the signal chain goes: MIDI (ssd5) > (multiple outs bass drum, snare, HI-Hat etc.) processing is mainly just compression and eq (subtle on the hi hat) > main output stereo.

So far there are zero master FX (as its incomplete).

I may be mixing the drums wrong, if there is a better way with MIDI, let me know lol!!

Thanks for the help!
