get your hands on a TR-909 snair, this is about standard for trance. BTW what do you mean by "secondary beat"?

Distinctness--> high attack, short decay
Warmness --> a slight bit of reverb

Pjotr, thanks; is TR-909 built into FruityLoops?

When I say "secondary" I mean: 'kick' is first-beat, 'snare' is second-beat, with hats in between.

So the snares that I could find in FL sound very rough and more like a kick.

i don't know of anything built in fruityloops, but the net is flooded with samples of the TR-909. If you can't find anything you like tell me exactly what u want and i'll put it up.
And who the hell puts snares on every 2 and 4, I'd go for closed hihats instead. Or open hihats at a much lower volume than the open hihat on the 3.
[edit] ok i misread that i understand now where ya put yer snares . Anyways, also you should also try handclaps instead they are more often used.[/edit]

Yeah, well I've tried handclaps, but they're not used so often.
But the snare should be close to the handclaps, in that it should be "warm" and "smooth."

BTW I listened to your "Terminal" and I liked the snare there, did you just d/l it off some site? Any other ones you might suggest?

Thanks

Well, you can use WAV files just like any other sample.
All you do is, click on the current-instrument name, choose "Load Sample...", and load your WAV file.

For instance FL doesn't have a good snare instrument, so the WAV file that Pjotr G is going to send me I'll load in as a sample.

And that very sample would be this:
