Bro, it's not a fault of a DAW. Try samplepacks like Joe Sturgis - Truth (Black and Gold) - there are nice acoustic snares. Or, invest in variant deluxe: buy a snare on Amazon - new for less than £100 and Zoom H1 or other recorder and condenser mics and record it by yourself. Nice you like timbre of my snare. Key point here is smoothing up the curve of a spectrum above 1.5kHz and boosting 250Hz and 3kHz - making it shape like a sine wave - boombox always sounds well :). Kind regards. If I have a time, I will upload more snares but it is so tedious to fill up this upload application...
