Subject: Analog Optical Audio in films
I like using variable-density analog B&W monoaural negative [no positive and no "reversal"; just the negatives] film optical tracks for audio. The audio characteristics of the film make my mouth-water. Yes, for some wierd reason, the film's audio makes me hungry.
Why didn't they make an audio-only equivalent of this for music [i.e. an optical audio tape]?
Why not replace *Analog Magnetic Audio Tapes* with *Analog Optical Audio Tapes*??
Analog optical audio is used in films and sound better than analog magnetic audio.
Magnetic tape contains static, humming, and other electromagnetic disruptions whereas optical tape does not.
Optical tape is resistant to bar magnets whereas magnetic tape is not.
Analog optical audio records and plays in the same manner as film does.
The difference for me, is, I'd like to use only the negative film and no positive.
