Unpronounced t in certain words

Hello, everyone. In my experience with english, i've noticed many people pronouncing words such as "enter", "internet", "interview" and "Atlanta" with a unpronounced t, making those words sound like "ener", "inernet", "inerview" and "Atlanta". From what i've seen, it is more common in American English, the one i am most adapted to. The question is: how often does this occur, and how should i pronounce them?
