Re: Trouble with tapping noise from my pick ups
Roll off everything below 196Hz hard. Really hard. If you have access to a digital console with a RTA (Real Time Analysis) function you can actually see all the frequencies responsible and then target those too, in addition. If not, do it by ear. Take off all that low stuff below 196Hz first, because that is usually where most of it is concentrated. I'll use the variable High Pass filter on a digital console to do this, plus the parametric to home in on additional peaks causing issues. Not all external preamps have filters that are precise or steep enough (I quite like the Headway EDB series for this), so you may need to experiment. If going into a good digital console you do not need an external pre, just a suitable DI with good headroom and an input impedance of circa 1M.
