What I find wo= rks for me is to save the unfiltered data.
   - For teleseismi= c events I "6 pole bandpass filter" between 0.03 hz and 0.7 hz. I then "4 p= ole notch filter" between 0.08 hz and 0.4 hz to get rid of the microseisms.= I sometimes have to do it twice or maybe use 0.6 hz for the upper limit de= pending on the event. I usually look for the higher frequency hump to be ar= ound 10% of the low end FFT magnitude.
    - F= or regional events I use the same bandpass but on the notch I go from 0.1 h= z and 0.4 hz. I find the event data is a little higher at the low end.
    - For local events I bandpass between 0.5 hz and 10 hz.
 I hope it helps. I f= ound it works for me.

I know some of the pruists want data that is unf= iltered. For me I just want to see the finished product.
