Hey guys,

I have recently started experimenting with some trap music.  I usually add a bit of saturation then High cut around 200 hz (depending on the source) yet it still sounds a bit flat. I am wondering what kind of processing do you guys do to your 808 samples (or sounds you have designed yourself), in order to get them to sound heavier and stand out in the mix.
