So I have been working on this track for some hours now, and now i wanna arrange my open hihats and i wanna do somehing to them. Im thinking compress, eq, and reverb. But do you now some nice settings for that?
especially the eq : O Should i high pass 1 and take all away up to 2000Hz and then boost it at 9000Hz by 2 db or something like that?
And the snare, how do I make it hit hard? do i layer more or apply several compressors?
The baseline how do i get it to fit better, be more powerfull etc?
How do i get my leads "glued together" to my ?
I have a lot of questions as you can see. and i hope some off you can help me

I'm listening on crappy speakers so i can't be precise.
Don't cut till 2000hz.. If you do that and put reverb on your hats they will sound very weak.
Maybe little reverb try gated reverb, some distortion.
You have got bigger problems then your hi hats imo.
Kick combo does not work i think. kick is biggest problem.
Snare is indeed not punchy at all. Layer with some white noise.. compress? maybe
Leads need eq and maybe some compression.
Try group compression, eq reverb or whatever for glueing things together.
And asking for settings will get you nowhere. different plug ins, different sounds.
+ you learn shit.

you got really nice track man
but i think you should put on your snare
reverb compressor white noise and using gate to
make it like reverb effect
here for example with reverb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
you see the line is long but when you put gate you close the reverb when it out
then you will get like reverb effect without losing any dynamics and you will make it more natural and
below you will see the gate line
~~| <--- you see the revere is out then you close it

You and your reverb smoker lol
snare .... = attack around 15-30ms ..... put release to full and move back gradually , youl ears will tell u when to leave it... threshold start little and move slighty till u get the "smack slap".... once in the mix youl proberbly will adjust it to allow it to punch thru all other sounds.... this could either be the attack sweet spot and the knee
same goes for all percs and Kicks if needed.....
Transient shapers are another option.. or finding a snare that is already punchy is usually my option...
dependin on pitch of the snare 200-280 boost , sumthing like that if snare lacks body...
smoker about that gate.... if it was me i would use the gate on the dry snare first (if its not sitting well) then apply the eq and comp + reverb + fx and duck it to a Ghost note of particular midi pattern .... just another option there

oh and also,,,, you can layer snares rather than compressors..... ableton user? wel grab an impulse and load up a load of snares..... bangs them together

Yeah layering snares is great and spending time on choosing the right samples helps a lot too

To all of you. Thank you so much for your input. This will for sure help me a lot
When you say: but i think you should put on your snare
reverb compressor white noise and using gate to
make it like reverb effect ..
Does it mean I should: go to the effect on the snare channel. and then Apply reverb, and then a gate in the same channel. Does this do the job, or am I wrong? https://soundcloud.com/peter-fh
