How do I make my 808s fat?

I'm basically looking to achieve something akin to Lil Ugly Mane's Mista Thug Isolation project where the bassline on most songs was prominent and fat for a lack of a better term. My typical process is I EQ my 808s so that everything under 50 hz is cut out and boost at the point where it cuts off, add either Fast Dist or Blood Overdrive to add some extra noise to the 808 and throw a Soft Clipper on there but it just makes it louder, not "fatter". How do I achieve a wider, more encompassing and strong 808? I'm working with FL Studio.

Thank you guys!
I E

How can I make my Spinz 808 sound as hard and real as possible

I recently started making beats but I use Soundtrap, a online DAW. I would use FL but I'm on a school laptop and its blocked smh.

It sounds like this: https://streamable.com/syxxut

I want it to sound like this: https://youtu.be/Uaa5h4qJ0Dk?t=567

I use the built in sampler and whatever [free] oneshot samples i can find. If you recommend some new 808 or sum, i would appreciate if u provide a link or send me a file or things of that nature

Dunk Rock Talks Producing Gunna’s Hit ‘fukumean’ and Its Impact on His Career

Dunk Rock, the producer behind Gunna’s massive hit ‘fukumean,’ reflects on how the track changed his life.

He also shares the unbelievable story of how he first connected with Gunna. During the pandemic, Dunk showed up at a studio with a sign that read, ‘I produced “COOLER THAN A BITCH”’—and within minutes, a Rolls Royce pulled up, and Gunna and Turbo invited him in.

I've been searching and all I can find is Metro Boomin's classics but I can't find any from "We don't trust you" or "We still don't trust you". The one's with all the female voices. Please help 🙏

How can you make 3xOsc play just by clicking on it?

trying to figure out what subgenre these would be called

hi everybody,

okay so basically i don't give a damn about what's the genre or the style is when i discover a new artist if i vibe with their music and ever since i started listening to more underground & upcoming artists than the mainstream scene whether it's rnb or trap music i really quit trying to catch it cuz there are bunch of new generation of artists who are really creative and original so they probably don't even fit into something specific

but since i'm a producer i'm a bit stuck because i wanna produce similar music (not because that i only want the catch the wave but it's actually the music i enjoy listening to these days) but it's a bit hard for me to just to listen to the stuff i like & recreate something like that but also making it original. i'm not coming with a heavy musical background too so i learnt everything i know by myself, watching bunch of tutorials & i'd say i'm pretty good in my own niche.

so for these artists, i wanna create similar vibes but since i don't even know what type of music that it's called, what type of drumkits & sounds i should use & where to start, i need help a bit. it's mostly the current sound of the uk underground and i analyzed it a bit, most of these beats are coming from producers who know each other which is understandable since they're in the same scene & coming with the same wave of artists. but as an outsider, it's a bit hard to get into. i don't know if i can add links, so i'm just gonna name bunch of songs. but i actually got way more snippets from ig to give example as, dm me if u try to help me out & hear more

Ciel, Len - RUM N COCA

Ciel - SPICEMUNNI

Len, Fimiguerrero - WOZeAM

Len - EVrYDAYY

like i said, these are just a couple to name. these guys are kinda getting recognition recently so they're not like really unknown unknown but if y'all are not from the uk or not into the scene you may not know about them so ... i'm open to any kind of help like if there are any other artists in this style, any tutorials, any kits for these type of sounds or whatever. sorry that i've written these long ahh paragraphs but i really wanted 2 be clear. thank you

How did the producer make his zay sound like that?

Is there a "jack-of-all-trades" type producer?

I've been using FL Studios for a year now, and and have about 3 years experience, but I still can't figure out which genre I want to specialise in. From Trap to Lofi and Afrobeat, even House and Game music, people always seem to like my beats. So I'm wondering if I could do it all, but if I do, will it affect my performance in a specific genre?

My mastering sucks

Im trying to make a rap song and I record and mix in garagaband. When I was mixing the vocals and stuff to make a snippet it sounded fine, but the master after exporrinf just sounds hella distorted and crappy. What do I do? Edit: I forgot to mention this, but I am total beginner and only have some background knowledge from YouTube tutorials. Link to snippet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UyjTro_6NaturEhebJvOWpkFnF8KdnAA/view?usp=drivesdk
