I guess because it's cheaper. Sad, really.
Yes, I think as far as movie SFX goes, "The Empire Strikes Back"
(original version) was the pinnacle.
Not to mention the audio engineering of albums like "Dark Side of the
Moon" :-) Even now I find myself still using tube amps (even mike pre's)
for everything. Love to get a tube compressor also.
Gotta have 'em! Tubes, tubes, tubes. I've got an HHB Fat Man
stereo tube compressor and an Art Pro Channel with tube/optical
compression. I even use the Pro Channel live 'cause it just sounds so
good.
