Woot!

I listened to this album on Apple Music in Dolby Atmos with a 5.1 setup and it is amazing. I hope it gets nominated for the Grammy Awards.

I've been streaming all these releases on Amazon Music in stereo to my AVR, the Dolby PLII decodes are quite impressive.

Very good to hear, Dave. Thank you for listening!

This is a masterpeice in surround mixing.
Playing it in Atmos
It just comes alive

Which is exactly what we want surround music to do.

Cheers

Not a problem and it is more than worthy of my nomination.

Do you have other projects in the pipeline?

How do you p;lay QS in Atmos?

How do you p;lay QS in Atmos?

Good question.
Well at the moment, you can't!!
Had me at it...as I believed the Apple listing to be correct.

It's such a great mix that it surrounds better than some Atmos mixes.

Need to get off my arse and check the Atmos heights in future....

You rule, @beerking .

So you all know, the "stereo" version (which is also on the pre-order vinyl) of this record is actually QUARK (QS/Regular Matrix/DPLII/Involve compatible) so no matter if you listen to the Atmos version or the 2-channel version, you get space. All versions are actually the exact same mix, just "packaged" in the different formats as needed.

On the Dolby Atmos renderer there are options for downsizing, one for a 5.1 downsize and one for Stereo downsize. For the later you can choose DPLII. I believe that goes in the Atmos Master you send to your distributor…. (but not really sure). And I don’t know how Apple decides to play a binaural or dplii version. There is a bit too much magic going on…

Way too much “magic”
