BOOMING low frequency

CHECKLIST:


6 different guitars = noise
2 different guitar cables = noise
Recording vocals = same booming noise frequency
Desktop vs laptop = noise, no difference
Laptop on battery unplugged = noise
Re-install Tascam drivers = noise
Kemper DI, Radial J48 and Tascam instrument = no difference
Different USB cable = noise


Any more ideas?!

I dont think I ever experienced this issue before, but since a couple of months ago I've noticed this really nasty low frequency.
Not sure if it's Kemper tho.
This happens on all guitars (for some reason, especially loud on A chords like in the clip)
On ALL profiles (distorted ones)

So what hell am I going to do?

Kemper > SPDIF > Tascam US-144MKII > Cubase 7

EDIT1: We can scratch Kemper out of the issue list because I get the same booming sound when going through Radial J48 box into Positive Grid Bias Amp...

Tried another cable and it still booms.

So what else can I do?

EDIT2: Tried a guitar with passive humbucker (I have EMGs in all others) and the boom was still there , so pickup type is not a factor either.

What more?

Can you throw up a clean DI track?

Here!

It appears to be hardprinted in the recordings but I'm not sure... gah!!!

Neither of you read my first post? (including both edits)

Please do so I dont have to explain twice

Exactly this is apparent in headphones and other speakers too.

Pickup near to strings is not a factor :p

This probably happens with ALL recordings I do, vocals and everything. But I probably can't hear it since I only use distortion on guitars.

Maybe there's something wrong with my soundcard interface...

I dont really have money to buy another interface just to "try if it doesn't appear" and I actually dont know that many people who's into recording that I could borrow from...

fffuuuuuu

I have now tried recording with my laptop, both pluged into wall socket and run on battery

NO difference. Still that nasty boom.

So my house electricity is out of question too.

It's not narrowed down to two things (unless somebody can come up with some other idea)

Cubase (I doubt it!)
Tascam US-144MKII

Maybe trying another USB cable... I will do that now

Since it happens with multiple guitars and whether you use the KPA or not, you need to look at the only common elements that remain:

Check your DAW software settings and your interface settings. Are you using a recording template with EQ activated?

No it's all clean :p

I tried recording vocals onto the same BIAS Amp track I recorded guitar DIs to, and it generates the same kind of noise.

It does start to come down to the interface, but I will try a different USB cable now, because I don't have another interface to try

EDIT: Different USB cable didn't make anydifference

I've tried downloading Reaper, and the noise still there

Is the Tascam interface really the only thing left on the "checklist"? I have to be able to try another interface but I dont have anything else.

Or I do have a Tascam US-1641, but isn't that almost the same but with more in and outs? I have that in my rehearsal to record drums, but I might travel there and get it home and try it soon.

But I still think it would be better to try another brand
