I deal with real drums far more than canned ones, so I'm no expert here. But i'm not sure why hi-hats pose a particular challenge?

These techniques are the same as i would use for any instrument that was standing out too much in the mix:

•If they are too bright, roll some high end off.

•If they sound too "up-front" add some small room ambience until they start "moving back" in the mix.

•If there are only occasional hits that jump out of the mix, but the rest of the track is ok, compress the shit out of it using a high threshold, short attack, and a very high ratio.

•If they don't sound like "part of the kit" run the whole kit through into a stereo subgroup and use compression and a bit of room on the whole thing.

•If the HH is being triggered by a midi sequencer, see if limiting the triggering velocity changes the tone in a useful way. Once it's recorded as audio, you can always raise the volume back up.

Perhaps it lies within the compression of your mix.

If you're mixing the rest of the beat with a high release ratio before adding your hi hats, they're bound to stand out from the rest of the mix.

However, if you're compressing your mix with your hi hats added for the first time, having a high attack rate will bring the hats out more forward, whereas having a high release rate will set them back in the mix.

I suggest compressing with a very high release to set your hi hats into the mix comfortably.
