I've got a mix, I hate the snare...it's a done deal though. I'm stuck with it
for now.

Not necessarily! I heard a demo of Sony Oxford's "Transient Modulator" at
NAMM a couple of months ago, and they showed me how it was possible to tweak
a finished mix in order to bring out or suppress stuff like snare hits.
Here's their description:

"The Sony Transient Modulator is an application that allows dynamic level of
signals to be modified by the transients in the programme material over time.
The effect is to bring transient events in the programme forwards, or push
them into to the background, such that the attacks of instruments can be
accentuated or softened depending on settings."

I'm not saying the thing was miraculous, but this was a far more
sophisticated process than just a gate or an EQ. I suspect this would help
solve your problem much better than anything else out there, assuming you
have access to a ProTools TDM system.

I don't think the Oxford plug-ins are compatible with Nuendo, unless Nuendo
can handle RTAS now.
