I was watching this old computer music video about hardstyle from styles & breeze.
In it they say they use the cubase chopper effect to make their hihats sound chunkier and more defined.
I looked it up and chopper is a LFO tremolo where you can choose the waveforms and stuff. Im pretty sure ableton suite dosent come with a tremolo effect like this. I dont know if you could get the same sound from volume automation alone.
